@gruber how does the free storage requirement for iOS 8 compare to iOS 7? My feeling is it was much larger, possibly a factor in upgrades.

@anildash That could be it. I don’t recall so many people running into the “you don’t have enough free space” issue last year.

@gruber @anildash my solution was using iTunes to install the update which requires much less space
Anil Dash ‏@anildash 7 Oct 2014

@GVerhoeven @gruber yeah, but most folks don't know that & many never sync to a mac/PC.

@anildash @GVerhoeven Using iTunes works, but that’s almost a “power user” technique at this point. Over-the-air is all most people know.

@gruber @anildash @GVerhoeven There should be a prompt under upgrade reminding people of that functionality
