If you're trying to download and install iOS 8.4 to check out Apple's new music streaming service but your iPhone is telling you you don't have enough space, you might not need to scramble to delete apps and photos.
The secret is iTunes. If you plug your iPhone into iTunes, you won't need as much free space, only about 610 megabytes. This is how people used to update the iPhone in the old days before we could update iOS "over the air," or OTA.
Plug your iPhone into your computer and launch iTunes to get started.
1. If a popup notification appears telling you to that a new version of iOS is available, go ahead and click Download and Update and go to step 5.
2. Otherwise, click the small iPhone icon towards the top left in iTunes.
3. And click Check for Update. If it just says Update, click it and follow the next step.
4. Click Download and Update.
5. Click Continue when this popup about purchased items appears. You won't be able to update if you click cancel.
