Yeah I do that. There's no like, lag difference, the crap I get rid of is apps I don't use and have forgotten about.
I don't install any app until I need it, with this restart. That way any app that gets on my new phone is there for a reason.
Once in a while I do this to my current phone, too. Works great, I've done it like a dozen times.
you know you can set your iphone automatically uninstall apps you don’t use regularly, right?
Offloading them isn't the same. It's about the screen clutter, not the storage space, and offloading an app leaves the icon. Offloading does its job pretty seamlessly, but that's a negative when I want to feel like I've had a clean start.
I do exactly the same as you. I love a fresh DFU reset.
Great, thanks! Nice to see I wasn't the only one thinking of doing this.
This is usually what I do as well.
