On the plus side, this had impacted the growth numbers I had been tracking last year, and in the three days since Iβve fixed the issue, I seem to be right back on track! π€

Yeah, it kills me that I need to limit my usage and delete apps, then go to settings and realize that Iβm only actually using 25% of the space I paid for

It fixed it at the time, but something is clearly wrong for it accumulated so quickly

At least your space is being taken up by real things - I apparently paid for 256 GB, but only get to use 64!

If storage gets _too_ low, the phone literally doesn't start, it just goes to a screen that scans the system for problems, finds none, restarts, and then goes right back into the same process again.
If iOS 27 really is going to be a "bug fix" release, I'd be happy if they fixed just this one issue!

Apple has a _huge_ issue with storage space β this problem isn't new, but it feels like it's gotten worse recently, and effects iOS and macOS.
This screenshot is from my iPhone, which I had to do a full restore on just 2 weeks ago. Why the hell is 'System Data' completely full already??

Just spent time looking for SubReddits that would let me post about the Within Reach beta, and I found a new annoyance. Reddit doesn't support the back button in Safari?
I had to modify the address bar several times to get back to the root of the SubReddit I was in. How is this a thing in 2025?

Within Reach is an upcoming app to help people who are going through their own journey with GLP-1 medication. This article is a bit of a personal story behind the app. Early beta opens today - please give it a look!

So, Apple goes to great lengths building the new design system, including the `backgroundExtensionEffect`, a headline feature that mirrors a view into safe areas (i.e., beneath the sidebar on iPad)β¦ and it just doesn't work in a List, even if remove the margins?
Am I missing something?

Sometimes, fixing a bug just requires me to start typing a social media message, asking people if they've seen a bug before. Then I start thinking, "Have I checked everything? It's going to be embarrassing if this is something simple"
And then I figure it out, and go to bed.
