    I just explained all the ways in which a 32 GB phone is sufficient for my needs, with room to spare. Not everyone is glued to their phone 24/7, some of us still just use them as basic tools and 32 GB is enough storage for that.

      You’re just limiting yourself for no reason. Don’t forget that devices tend to get slower the more full they are and not to mention your phone is using up cycles to aggressively manage internal cache. Also, the more things you have cached on your phone again is better because it doesn’t have to use resources to do work again and again.

      I just checked my phone and 14 gb is used by “Temporary System Files”, whatever the hell that is but it sounds like cache is the primary use. That is not even counting the 10 GB used by Android. So it sounds like Android wants to cache as much stuff as possible.
