I have a 5C. This is my first smartphone in 5 years, so I was very excited. Verizon was offering the 5C, with 8G of memory, for free. Well the first smart phone I had was an android that only had 4G of memory, and it was plenty, so the 8G sounded like a lot. I ordered it, and when I finally got it (they sent me a 4S at first), and got some other issues squared away with Verizon, I was very happy. Well a couple weeks into it, there was an iOS update. I didn't know that if I hooked it up through the computer, that it would take less space. So the update hogged up over 5G of my memory. And the rest of the memory is hogged up by these preloaded apps that came with the phone that I don't use. I can't take pictures, or videos or download any apps. Because of the low memory and iOS hogging it up. So basically, all I have is an iPhone with internet capability. For 30 bucks I could have gotten 16G on the phone....they didn't even offer me that option. I may see if I can get the phone to go back to it's original iOS. I can handle not having apps. I really was looking forward to having a good camera on my phone.
You can get some free space on iCloud. You can move junk up there or sync it to your PC and archive some things to your PC.
Be sure you back it up first.
I had to do that for Nanilei's phone. Works well enough now after I did the update via the PC.
I backed it up to the computer, did a factory reset, and then restored it.
