Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support

There's a difference between internal, local storage (the flash memory in your iPhone), and iCloud storage (storage on Apple's servers).


You need internal, local storage for a lot of things – including copies of some of the data you synchronize via iCloud. You can't upgrade the flash memory in an iPhone after you purchase the device. So if you're running out of room in it, you may have to delete stuff from your phone, or offload apps, to free up space.
