"Even if I delete photos and apps, I still don't have any space."
"If I use it for video editing or saving documents, I quickly run out of storage."
Many people are troubled by such "storage problems" with their iPhones and iPads.

But did you know that there are surprisingly many ways and tricks to increase storage capacity, even if you don't immediately buy a new device?
This article introduces practical measures to efficiently increase iPhone and iPad storage, and even the option of having "two devices" by utilizing a used iPad.

Can iPad storage be expanded? Understanding the architectural limitations

First and foremost, you cannot expand the storage of an iPhone or iPad later.
In other words, the storage (e.g., 64GB, 256GB, etc.) cannot be changed from when it was purchased, and there is no SD card slot.

Why can't it be expanded?

• Internal storage is fixed to the logic board and cannot be replaced
  

• Apple adopts a design that assumes cloud usage and replacement
  

In other words, since "physical expansion" is impossible, covering it with ingenuity or adding another device is a realistic solution.

3 techniques to increase storage capacity | Utilize cloud and external storage

Even if you can't increase the storage itself, there are ways to effectively expand its capacity.

1. Utilize iCloud and Google Drive

• Automatically back up photos, videos, and files to the cloud
  

• Use Apple's iCloud (free 5GB to paid plans) and Google's cloud in conjunction
  

2. Use external storage (USB-C/Lightning)

• Recent iPads support connecting external SSDs and USB flash drives
  

• Convenient for temporary storage of large files
  

3. Organize apps and data

• Delete unused apps
  

• Video and game apps consume a lot of data, making them ideal targets for review
  

By utilizing these, it's possible to reduce the perceived used capacity by more than half.

If it's still not enough, having "two devices" is also an option

Even after implementing methods to save space on your iPhone and iPad, if you reach your limit, more and more people are considering having two devices for different uses.

How they can be used differently:

• Device 1: For large capacity (128GB or more) such as video editing and business documents
  

• Device 2: For SNS, browsing, and reading (64GB or less)
  

At PRODIG, you can purchase refurbished used iPhones and iPads at reasonable prices. Models starting from around 10,000 yen are also available, making the hurdle for introducing a second device lower.
