You should be able to check if you have enough free space by going into Settings -> General -> Software Updates. If you don't have enough space, you'll see this on the screen. Note that swiping doesn't work in this screen. You'll need to slide your finger around on the screen to find the information.

Note that if you use iTunes to perform the install, you'll need a lot less free space. I did it this way since I wanted to grab an encrypted backup first, and I didn't have enough space on my iPhone 4S.

You can also free up storage to make enough space, either by removing media from the phone or removing apps. Everything is easy enough to put back after the install. Note that I've read that IOS 8 adoption is slower than releases in the past and it seems to be because IOS 8 requires more free space than previous versions. People don't have the free space on their phones and aren't taking the time to free up more space.

Hi all,

I have a 4s 16 g and haven’t updated to the new OS for fear I don’t have
enough memory. Anyone have input or whether or not I should update or go
for a phone upgrade?
