How much space does iOS takes?

Dear Apple Support Community,
I want to know how much space does the iOS takes (installed) on a default iPhone 4 for all it's versions (eg. latest iOS 3, latest iOS 4 and iOS 5).
Watching the 2011 WWDC keynote on iOS 5, you will see a handful of new functionalities being added that will take the user experience even further, which is great!
But if you have minimum technical background, you know that more features means more lines of code, and this WILL take some extra space on your device. Also, iOS is an ever-changing product distributed over the web, but the iPhones have always the same hard-fixed ammount of storage space (only changes if you buy a new device).
This is what I'm looking for:
iOS 3.5.1 -> 1,2 Gb
iOS 4.3.3 -> 2,1 Gb
iOS 5.0.0 -> 2,9 Gb
** those are fictitious values, most probably not the actual ones **
Important: I'm just curious about it, I don't find this being a big issue as 16 or 32 gb of space is pretty much. Even if the OS takes 2~3 gigs out of it, there's still plenty space for everything you need on the go.
Thank you very much!!

Something like 660MB, apparently:

How much space does iOS 6 or iOS 7 require?

On a 8 GB iphone how much space does iOS 6 or iOS 7 take up?

No one can tell you specifically, as it will vary by device and user and according to your personal data on the device etc. But, you can expect anywhere roughly around 175-195MB.

How much space does tiger take up & how to make it take up less

i recently read a post by someone claiming that tiger took 18.5gb on there ibook, and some one replied saying that apple claims you can install tiger in to 3gb.
: is this true?
: if so, how do you "compress" it?
: iff not so, how much space does it take up on avarage?

hi Axl....
I've got tiger in ok, running fine - bought family pack and have done 3 installs without problem, so that's the good news ....
I did a major reshuffle and toss-out of files before I installed - bought 80gb mobile external hard drive - and did install with 5+gb free, so after it had about 3gb free, then all of a sudden I went down to less than 1gb
I've been in a hunt for more files to throw out (a nice find were the old ipod updaters that were eating 500mb) ....
If I want to throw out most of the language files (for instance) ... where are they ? (I did search for danois and found nothing, so .... buried ?)
any other suggestions for things to throw away .... I've pretty much eliminated 90% of all things classic, for instance ....
and - do you have ideas for why space seems to disappear so fast .... I'm not doing anything special, but wham, 2gb flies away to ???
thanks

How much space does IOS 6 use vs IOS 5.1.1

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to IOS 6 yesterday. Today, I was telling a friend about it and she said she doesn't have enough free space to install it on her 8GB iPhone 4. This got me thinking that with all the upgrades, how much more space does IOS6 require vs IOS5.X.X. Does anyone know?
Thanks
Mike

Bit of a strange one, the file itself was 650-something MB, but when it came to install, it required me to have at least 2.5GB free space. When it was installed though, there was no change in the free space on my iphone. So, its a mystery.

How much space does iTunes take?

I'm afraid if it's too much, my laptop won't function properly. My laptop is already slowing down from all of it's contents. I want to know how much memory (in MB) iTunes takes up before downloading it on my laptop.

As a genreral rule, you should have 10%-15% free space on your boot drive.
A 250GB drive should have at least ~15GB-20GB free space.

My 16GB Touch is pretty full (about 360MB left after all the music is loaded). How much space does the typical app take up?

How much space does a Windows 7 install take on a Mac?

Installation of Windows 7 is required at least around 20GB of disk space 64bit version, 32bit version is around 16GB, 100GB is a sensible amount of disk space for a Windows installation, I suppose.

How much space does OS X Mountain Lion take?

I am considering a MacBook Air 128 GB for my next laptop, but I'm not sure if that's enough. How much space does the OS take up?

OS X Mountain Lion, without any third-party app, takes about 9 GB of hard disk. The minimum requirement is 8 GB of hard drive space, so if you have to store a lot of data, you may have to buy an external drive to store all the files you want

1. My music takes up 3.5GB og space on my iOS devices. How much space will it take up after I subscribe to iTunes Match? 2. Will it include podcasts?

The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

How much space does MacBook Air OS and software take up?

Greetings,
I am looking to replace my aging 2008 MacBook with a new MacBook Air. I want to get the 11 inch model most likely with the 128GB of storage. I will use it mostly for email, web surfing and other light duty work.
While I don't intend to load it up with various software, I will probably put a half dozen peices of software on it, over and above the Apple software it comes with. But, no biggies like PhotoShop. My question is this:
About how much space does the Apple OS and the assorted Apple software that comes standard take up?
I cannot spend a lot and would like to avoid buying the bigger drive if possible.
Thanks.

new from box it will have 121 GB available.
I cannot spend a lot and would like to avoid buying the bigger drive if possible.
Thats a bad working premise, no computer is a data storage device. You dont need a huge SSD, just an external HD for data backups and for putting tons of big media files on.
128GB is plenty for almost everyone, IF they know very very simple rules of drive management.

How much space does apple give you for free in the cloud

how much space does apple give any user in the cloud

Can you monitor how much space the site takes up?

I'm building my website and I don't have server space yet. Before I buy some, I want to know how much space my site would take up on said server.
I'm probably going to host my videos elsewhere, but I have a lot of photos on the site and I don't know if iWeb automatically reformats them to be smaller files. If it doesn't, those pictures will add up.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Publish the site to a folder, and then check how much space the folder takes up in the Finder.
