System Data?
When I do a backup of my iPhone, especially my older iPad...it will show almost 5-10gb+ used, lot more than usual for some reason. After backing up, syncing in itunes, the "Free space" will jump in size. I never noticed what junk is taking up that space...maybe it is system data?
I also go through "Review Large Attachments" under Storage. For me, this will show a ton of images I may have texted in the past week or two...that takes up space
Right now I have 4.3GB, you have me wondering if I sync now, this number may go down a bit.
13 PRO MAX - 256gb size
