[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1625079, member: 234411"] Hello - keep in mind that the iOS (and possibly other system files) will consume a portion of that stated storage; e.g. I just bought a 64 GB iPad Air 2, in settings, the total capacity listed is 55.9 GB, so you'll have to check your new iPhone since you are likely already @ 118 GB or so - there is little chance of you putting all of that music on the device along w/ your apps, pics, etc. As to what is desired for 'free' storage, on Mac computers, the usually recommendation is to have at least 15% and better 20% available storage - I'm not sure, but could be less on these iOS devices - others will likely 'chime in' w/ their opinions. But that free space is needed just for the device to operate smoothly and to provide room for updates, especially if done OTA. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
