This doesn't answer your question, but have you tried downloading and
installing the update with iTunes? I ended up doing it this way just
because I had my iPhone plugged into my PC when I had the time to do the
upgrade. I don't have much free space on my iPhone, but the upgrade went
fairly smoothly. iTunes may not require as much space since the PC is
doing some of the work, such as exploding the update.
I wouldn't think the apps themselves would take up that much space. They
might drag along a lot of data though, such as downloaded books, cached
files (like favorites in DropBox), recordings, cached audio streams and
so on. Try deleting the apps that you don't need and look for ways to
cut down on the data consumed by your heavy hitting apps.

Hi,
I’ve got a 16 Gig IPhone 5 and can not download the new IOS 7 because it
tells me I only have 2.7 gigs available on my phone and it needs at
least 3 gigs for it to download.
Do apps really take up that many gigs? Every app I see in the “Usage”
section takes up megs, not gigs. The only one that takes up 5 gigs is
OOTunes, which I find hard to believe.
Also, I don’t have much music on my phone…61 songs, and 15 photos.
Is something up with the phone, or have I really used close to 14 gigs
of pure apps? Again, I find it hard to believe, but I’ll take any advice.
What can I do to gain more space?
Jim
