Some information. I had an iphone 6. Bent it pretty good. Decided to get a prepaid at&t iphone se because that $150 price point is killer. I set the phone up as new. Connected to my apple account and redownloaded everything manually. When is started the system size was around a gig. When done loading my apps and adjusting my settings it was up to 9 gb and now it's all done it's around 6. On a 32 gb phone 6 gb is a big chunk! I backed up the phone. Did an erase all content as settings and restored from the backup. Same issue. My iPhone 6 only had around 3 gb of system space. My wife's iphone 7 only has 300 mb of system. What gives?
