Week 429 was posted by Charanjit Chana on 2026-01-14.
My previous phone had 128GB of storage which was plenty, except for the apps that insist on caching it all. Twitter (X), Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp etc... they all cache forever it seems.
My one wish for WWDC this year is that apps are made to offer a clear cache option in the settings app.
It would make a world of difference to people that aren't able to justify the cost of more storage and would help those of us that have stepped up a tier (I went for the 256GB iPhone 14 Pro) to reduce our space anxiety.
Offloading apps is not the answer, most of the ones I want to clean up would save me less than 100MB in app size, but the cached storage they demand are often 10x that size, if not closer to 50-60x.
Rant over.
PS. There was no week 428. For the first time, I've skipped a week. I just didn't have the bandwidth mentally to tackle a post here and ran out of time to rectify that. A 427-week streak, time to start a new one!
