How much space does iOS 14 take up?

You’ll need roughly 2.7GB free on your iPhone or iPod Touch to upgrade to iOS 14, but ideally you’ll want a little more breathing room than that. We’d recommend at least 6GB of storage to ensure you get the best possible experiences with your software upgrade.

Does iOS 14 use more storage?

The average time to download and install iOS 14 on iPhone is between 20 – 35 minutes. If you find it is taking too long to update iOS 14 to your iPhone, then you should go to check your device storage first. If there is not enough storage space for iOS 14 update, you will need to release more space for your iPhone.
