Apple iPhone and iPad users have taken to social
media to express their frustration over installing
the company’s latest software update.

Many have resorted to deleting photos, videos and
other files in order to free up space for the new
version of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS8,
which requires up to 5.8GB of storage.

Apple has also removed apps for its new health
software because of a bug.

One expert said Apple’s updates were often prone
to “teething problems”.

Some vexed Apple users took to Twitter to express
their annoyance, at one point causing the subject
to be trending above the Scottish referendum.
David Roberts tweeted: “This update would be
great… If you didn’t have to delete half of the stuff
on your phone just to install it.”

Daniel Zennon took a more humorous approach,
tweeting: “So Apple put the #U2 album on
everybody’s phone and then tell them they don’t
have enough space for the #iOS8 upgrade”.
This is not the first time Apple users have had
trouble with iOS updates.

In 2012, the iOS6 update caused some users to
lose their apps, and others lost photos and
messages when updating to iOS7 last year.

As well as requiring a lot of storage, the latest
version, iOS8, does not include apps that run with
Apple’s new HealthKit service, which is designed
to work with third-party wearable health devices.
The software was originally scheduled for release
in iOS8, but has been pulled while Apple works on
fixing a bug.

David Price, online editor at Macworld UK, told the
BBC the issues were not “really a surprise”.
“There’s always a rush on the servers on launch
day, some delays, and usually some teething
problems,” he said.

“That’s why we always recommend that people
wait a day or two before updating.”
Apple users can avoid the need to free up storage
space for the latest update by upgrading their
software via iTunes on a Mac or PC, instead of
through the phone or tablet itself.

Additionally, much of the free space required by the
update is made available again once the
installation process has completed.
