iOS 9 Beta Includes New Auto App Delete & Reinstall Feature for OS Updates

As noted by some users on Twitter today, the just-released second beta of iOS 9 includes an option to delete apps to make room for a software update, with iOS taking care of reinstalling deleted apps once the update is complete.

Here’s Juli Clover, writing for MacRumors:

When attempting to install iOS 9 on a device with insufficient space, there’s a popup that offers to temporarily delete some apps in order to make room for the update. Apps that are deleted are then reinstalled and replaced after the operating system update is completed.

Between this and smaller sizes for apps and updates announced at WWDC, Apple wants to make sure owners of devices with low storage will always have a chance to upgrade to the latest version of iOS. We can only wonder if 16 GB iPhones will ever go away.
