What's the timescale here, for "The unremovable caches will kill your space with time". I'm currently holding an iPhone 11 running the iOS 16 beta, that I got in October of 2019. Looking at Storage, I'm sitting at 67GB used of 256GB. The heavy hitter app-wise is Spotify at 13GB, but that's all music that I specifically told it to keep locally. "Other System Data" is 22GB.

If you have the 256gb model you’re not affected, but there are lots of devices out there with between 8 and 64gb of storage.

That doesn't really line up with the comment I replied to. It suggests that over time, space usage will continue to grow as part of some kind of planned obsolescence. That's the premise I was questioning.
