iPhone iPhone 13 Pro Max - System Data

[ron1990]

Hey everyone,

I got me new iPhone 13 pro max last week, and I noticed that the system date is 14.97 GB!!

Is there something to do to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance!

System Data?

When I do a backup of my iPhone, especially my older iPad...it will show almost 5-10gb+ used, lot more than usual for some reason. After backing up, syncing in itunes, the "Free space" will jump in size. I never noticed what junk is taking up that space...maybe it is system data?

I also go through "Review Large Attachments" under Storage. For me, this will show a ton of images I may have texted in the past week or two...that takes up space

Right now I have 4.3GB, you have me wondering if I sync now, this number may go down a bit.

13 PRO MAX - 256gb size
