iPhone and iPad apps are sucking gigabytes of space

Iphone 和 ipad 的應用程式正在吞噬千兆位元組的空間

Apple needs to limit how much space apps can eat, or at least allow users a way to clear the cache.

蘋果需要限制應用程式佔用的空間，或者至少允許使用者清空快取。

Some apps are consuming hundreds of megabytes, if not gigabytes, of storage space on your iPhone or iPad, and the only way to get that back seems to be to delete the app.

I'm a bit of a cheapskate, and I go for the lowest storage option when I buy an iPhone. It's far from ideal, but Apple charges far too much for what is a few dollars worth of storage.

我是個小氣鬼，買 iphone 的時候，我會選擇最便宜的儲存空間。雖然遠遠不夠理想，但蘋果的儲存空間價格太高了。

But with a little curation, along with making use of my massive Dropbox, it's no problem.

不過只要稍微整理一下，再加上使用我的巨大 dropbox 就沒問題了。

Until apps start eating up space like it's free.

直到應用程式開始像免費一樣佔用空間。

Case in point, the Twitter app. Why is this taking up almost 2GB of space? I'm assuming this is a cache for things like profile pics and such, but it seems like a crazy amount.

舉個例子，推特應用。為什麼這個要佔用2gb 的空間？我想這裡應該是存檔檔案照片之類的東西的地方，但是看起來數量太多了。
