[QUOTE="durango, post: 1649719, member: 98789"] There seems to be a significant difference in the capacity I thought I was buying versus the capacity my iPhone and iPad show. Specifically: - iPhone was purchased as a 16GB device. If I go to Settings->General->About, the capacity is shown as only 12GB, with 6.6GB available - iPad was purchased as a 32GB device. If I go to Settings->General->About, the capacity is shown as only 26.7GB, with 16.9GB available. In contrast, my iMac capacity rating appears to be spot on. It was purchased as a 640GB device. If I 'Get Info' for this Macintosh HD running Yosemite, the capacity is shown as a 639GB device, with 612GB available. So it appears that my iPhone and iPad did a little false advertising :Angry:, whereas my iMac was extremely accurate. I would appreciate it if someone can explain why the difference ratings. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
