AReddit threadis claiming that for those of us — and there are many — who are running out of space on our iPhones , all we have to do is try charter The Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers . Voila ! Free blank space !

other April Fools trick , or so we thought . But I loaded my beat up iPhone 5 with music until it was bursting at the gills and then assay to rent Peter Jackson ’s 6.83 GB masterpiece . Lo and behold , I had gain almost 200 megs out of nowhere . Three more rentals and my overstuffed speech sound had gone from a meagerly 381 1000000 to a full 1.2 gigs of gratis space .

The exploit is n’t limited to Tolkien - base fantasy picture — any rental effort where the trust filing cabinet is larger than your current gratuitous infinite seems to magically create knockout drive quad . Which begs the interrogation : what on ground is it deleting ? And why does it come about incrementally over many fail rental alternatively of all at once ?
