Hi All,

Brand new iPhone 6 running 8.1.1. Weird thing happened the other day, I connected it to WiFI for the first time and after checking it in a few hours I noticed I lost ~300MB of storage space? Anyone know what behind the scenes sorcery Apple is trying to pull?

Did it download the 8.1.3 update? However, when I check the Software Update page, it still shows "Download & Install" and not just "Install" (indicating that it had already downloaded the update)..
 
Hi - there is likely a bunch of caching going on. Perhaps even memory using up the space. Things like the Photo Stream cache, etc. Perhaps even applications using up storage.

I wouldn't be too concerned..
 
I don't think it's any applications because i checked the Usage MB before and after connecting to WiFi and they were the same...

Any other thoughts?
