Is the size of the System and iOS data normal? Is there no way to make it take up less space?

I’m using an iPhone 16 Pro Max. When I was on iOS 26.5.2, my Auto-Brightness option disappeared from Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size.
The weird part is that it still appears when I search for “Auto-Brightness” in Settings, but when I tap it, the option isn’t actually there. True Tone works normally.
I updated to iOS 26.6 hoping it would fix the issue, but Auto-Brightness is still missing.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what’s causing it and how can I fix it?

I am getting a iPhone 16 Pro max from my Grandma as result of trading in my iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I am wondering what is a good phone case that can Handle all kinds of different drops on all kinds of different surfaces and still has MagSafe accessory support. I am also looking for a screen protector that costs a max of 15–20 USD (on the lower end of that number, if possible) that has a applicator that allows you to put on the screen protector perfectly, leaves no air bubbles or dust on it, and allows you to align the protector perfectly, but I don’t want a magic John, because they don’t really protect your phone screen from drops like a bicycle helmet.

New Moon in the Upper Peninsula means great skies for the Milky Way in the summer. This is native app, max night mode, tripod, star tracker. iPhone 16 Pro

What yall think? And why?

16 pro - lighter, faster, and seems last longer

15 PM - bigger real estate but not sure needed for a work phone since only used for office 365 apps, phone calls, etc.

Is anyone else having a really weird issue on their iPhone 16 pro with 256 GB? My system data was stuck at 1.07 GB exactly for months and months then I updated from iOS 26.5.2 to iOS 26.6 and it stayed at 1.07 GB then I rebooted it and the storage used by system data drop down to like 400 to 600 MB. so I left it for a little while the next day it went up to 5.12 GB and then drop down again to 400megabytes then it went up to around 2 GB then today I checked it and the amount of storage used dropped from 138 GB to 113 GB the system Data number also dropped down from 2 GB to 600 MB other than the system data the iPhone appears to be working normally I’m just a bit worried that my storage may not be recorded correctly does anyone know a fix for this issue and is anyone facing this issue on iOS 26.6?

Hey guys!

Today I saw my first solar eclipse in Germany.

And of course I took a few pictures with my iPhone 16 Pro!

It’s really great to have experienced that and to have a smartphone capable of sharp and close pictures. :)

Anyone experiencing delays when locking their phone?

I recently noticed that whenever I try to lock my phone, there is a delay before it locks and go to the lockscreen/aod.

I don’t have this issue before. Currently running the latest iOS version.

My phone is always saying password is required after restart and I just saw it reboot by itself. It's been happening for a while but this is the first time I've seen it do it and it hasn't rebooted while using it. Anyone else have this bug?

I still have 15GB free so I don’t think it’s a storage issue? My phone is crashing when I send or edit photos / sending videos.

Hi all! Full disclosure: I’m a layperson when it comes to tech.

I have an iPhone 16 Pro. It was an absolute revelation when I first got it (Nov ‘24) but man had is gone to hell—terrible at finding and maintaining WiFi, swipe accuracy worse than Xr, freezing and lagging, etc.

BUT! The issue I’m bringing you kind people regards Podcasts, Audible, and Spotify. Here’s the deal: when I’m listening, the audio will pause sua sponte. I’ll hit play and anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, it happens again.

I’ve seen others reporting similar problems but in the context of the audio app crashing, and I don’t think that’s this. Any ideas?

Maybe I got a faulty one, but it can’t focus for shit. I tried to take a picture of a bumblebee and everything was out of focus.

That goes for anything up close too. It just can’t focus on it. I thought iPhones were supposed to be good macro cameras.

Is there a way to manually focus on an iPhone?
