It seems that their latest firmware has also increased in size. I read a bunch of old reports on Reddit that they had 156 to 160 kb of free storage for the apps.
Yeah, developers claim they rewritten apps and everything else from scratch to enable reverse compatibility for future updates.
If you ask me this is a poor man choice for a hardware wallet and classical used car sellers scheme.
In addition to that, there's one user who's saying he/she got a crack when it wasn't in use
Plastic could happen with plastic because of cold/hot temperatures and depends how long he used ledger before the crack happened.
I did update the Bitcoin and Ethereum apps yesterday and was surprised when I noticed that the usual "update all" button was greyed out. Couldn't figure out why until I noticed the difference in the app sizes. I had to uninstall a third app I had to update those of BTC and ETH.
They never announce anything when size increases and they leave it for customers to get ''surprised'' and first post about that issue.
It's totally misleading that Ledger writes on their websites how Nano S is supporting 1100+ coins and app to 6 apps installed on your device, but in reality you can't install more than 2 or 3 apps.
