I doubt that you are both running the exact same apps. Apps differ in size and you may have different amounts of storage on your phones. The only way to gain more storage is to delete photos, messages, apps, etc.. Be sure to save important photos and data to your computer or an external drive. Check this link...

What Else to Clear:

A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:

Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:

Also...



B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:

Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.
