just finished the install of iPadOS 15 on my ipp 11" 2018. capacity: 64gb, freespace: ~16gb, still i get this message (in german, roughly translates to "memory almost full"). also: it doesn't go away, neither on the ipad, nor the iphone.

I had this issue in September (XR, 64GB). After I totally reset the iPhone and restored my backup, the issue had gone. Only to reappear a few days ago. It blocks not only installs but also prevents my scanner app from saving pictures. If I go into Preferences, the information on storage changes rather quickly to real numbers again (31GB of 64GB; the shots were taken within seconds). But a soon as I try to use storage again, the alerts start again. Most annoying. Any ideas?

I have a support case with Apple because of this problem, and after doing a bunch of diagnosis and looking at data logs from my iPhone 13 Pro Max, this is what they said:

"Thanks for you patience. I have received an update about your case.

The Apple engineering team has confirmed the retrieval of the log files to further investigate your issue, and at this time we do not have any further steps to take to attempt to resolve the storage issue.

The results of the investigation may come in the form of an update, new product documentation provided by Apple, or a combination of the two. Please keep me up to date if symptoms change, or if you discover a workaround.

I will also be in contact with you as necessary for this issue as I receive updates on my end."

So basically they're admitting there is something wrong with iOS 15 and they need to fix it.
