I have no opinion about this tirck, but I do know that after a while, it is not uncommon for the amount of space reported on your device to differ from what the actual storage space it due to leftover bits and possibly corrupted files and or just memory readings. When you have the device plugged into your computer and open itunes and look in the Info tab, see what it says about remaining storage. If it shows a different number than what your device says, then you have some wasted space somewhere. About a year ago, when I called Apple Accessibility about this, they had me do an encrypted backup, erase all my data, and restore from that back up, after which I had about 2 GB more space on my device.
So, if this trick actually works, that seems like an easier way to unclutter your device if you are running out of room.

Will your unused storage stay at 7.6 GB, or go back to 7.1 GB? -----Original Message----- From: Rajmund Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2016 7:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: How to increase storage on your iPhone with this unusual trick Hello, So, some updates. With the phone, no matter what, I can't, for the life of me, rent without a card. Just, fails. With the iPad, however, I started with 7.1 GB, I now have 7.6. In other words, the trick does work, but, unless, you have payment information given, it'll only work on an iPad, and not on the phone. Don't have an iPod to try with, though, not sure how those would react to it.
