Rent movie on iTunes to get free space on iPhone

People who are using Apple's 16GB iPhone variants tend to run out ofcapacity. On this gadget, a user gets approximately 11GB of user accessible storage as the rest of it is acquired by the Apple operating system.

In the wake of introducing a couple applications and putting away photographs, music and recordings, a client ordinarily comes up short on capacity.

According to a thread on social networking site Reddit, there is one crazy trick you can try to reclaim some of the used-up space.

The trick involves renting a movie from iTunes. To see how the trick works, go to Settings > General > About and scroll down to "Available". Check how much capacityis left and then head to the iTunes Store.

lSearch for a film which is greaterthan the space left on your phone. For example if the available space is 4GB, choose a movie whose file size is greater than 4GB. Then click "Rent" at the top of the page. The user will not be charged as the phone does not have enough space to download it and a message will apper saying "you don't have enough available storage". After clicking "OK", head back to settings and check your available storage again. A significant increase in the available storage space should be visible. You can repeat the entire process a few times. "As of now, it's unclear on how the trick works, but it probably has got to do with some cache and other storage from apps getting cleaned up," .

'Premium smartphones to hit 5-mn mark in 2016'

Shipment of premium handsets (Rs 30,000 price above) is likely to touch 5-million mark 2016 in India, accounting for 3.5-4 per cent of the total smartphones shipped.

About 3.3 million premium gadgets were dispatched in 2015, of the total 96.4 million smartphones shipped during the period, CMR said in a report. This accounted for 3.4 per cent of the total smartphone shipment, it added. Samsung, Apple and Sony Mobile were the top three premium brands.

Interestingly, crosswise  operating systems, merely 13 per cent of the gadgets were shipped with the latest version of the OS. "Unfortunately, so far none of the Indian brands have been able to establish itself in the premium segment.

"However, the recent launch of iPhoneSE will not be the centre-piece for Apple's growth in India. It would be challenging for Android to keep its supremacy in OS in this segment despite several vendors committed to it," it added. This will essentially amplify, if and when, the Indian brands foray into the premium smartphones category, it said
