    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.

        No reason? The XZ1 Compact only came with 32 GB of internal storage. If I wanted to use that phone, 32 GB was it. You seem to have extreme difficulty understanding the very simple concept that not everyone wants or needs the same things as you in life. We aren’t all you, we don’t all want to live like you. You’re not the main character.
