Apple's new-generation mobile software is now available for download, but many users have hit a snag trying to install iOS 8 due to the size of the update.
iOS 8 requires at least 5.7GB of free space to be installed on most iPhone and iPad models, according to the Global News. Previous iOS updates only needed about 1GB of free space.
The free software will be pre-installed on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus - which New Zealand customers can pre-order starting from next Friday - but that doesn't help users with an older version of iPhone.
Many of those users took to Twitter to vent their frustration with updating to the iOS 8 mobile operating system.
"just deleted about 1,000 pics so i can have enough storage for iOS8," Twitter user @jords97 wrote.
