Can you upgrade to a higher memory on the iPhone

[acejunker]

Just checking if there is a way to upgrade. My 5s is bursting at the seams with 16 GB.

Unfortunately quality apps come with a price and storage suffers but the iphone can't be upgraded for more capacity

If you are within your 14 day return period you can - assuming there is a larger capacity model available. Currently the iPhone 5S comes in the 16 and 32 GB varieties. Outside of the 14 day return period, no, you cannot. And there is no way to expand the storage of an iPhone.

Did you try a cloud-based storage option, like Dropbox, etc? A free account with most of the cloud providers will give you a couple of GB to work with, and for a few dollars a month you can get enough space to keep your photos and media there. The only caveat is that to use these files you are also using data.... sometimes lots of it.

I think mophie has a case that offers extended battery and storage

True, but this case does not provide a memory upgrade to the internal memory. At best, it’s a kludge "solution".

I completely forgot about this. Here's the link for the OP mophie space pack For iPhone 5s/5 Storage Battery Case

I use the Mophie Space. It isn't the same thing as having more internal storage but it does help a lot. I keep all music and photos on the Mophie. That frees up a lot of space on the 5s

You can free up memory by using cloud storage. (E.g, Box, Dropbox ). Always get 32GB minimum. Good luck.

32GB memory with next iPhone. Add cloud storage.

Nope you are stuck unless you buy a new phone. And like the others said mophie does have the memory case
