Iâve bought a new iPad Mini 6 (64gb) around a week ago and restored from my iPad Pro (64gb) to get them having all the same apps etc. After everything was done, I noticed that the iPad mini had nearly 10gb less storage space left! Same apps, same data etc, just lost 10gb.
On closer examination, I noticed that I had around 5gb of âsystem dataâ at the bottom of the iPad storage app list. My iPad Pro is zero.
Photos on my iPad Pro occupy 3.5gb but the same ones on my Mini use over 6.7gb!
Ive reset to factory twice but when everythingâs loaded up, I just have 10gb less storage on the Mini.
UPDATE. By this morning, the difference had risen to nearly 14gb and Apple support are telling me this is normal for the Mini 6! System Data (ie cache) is now up to 7.4gb
I donât want to take this back to the store - really love this little thing but I canât lose nearly 15gb of storage of little I have!
Do you guys have any thoughts?
