[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1649772, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Durango[/B] - yep, base 2 vs. base 10 makes a difference - on my 64 GB iPad Air 2 & wife's 64 GB iPhone 6, the total capacity reported in settings is 55.9 GB - now the 64 GB advertised is using base 10 (i.e. 64,000,000,000 bytes); BUT, 1 GB in base 2 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, so if my iDevices capacity is being stated in 'base 2 GBs', the 64 divided by 1.0737 equals 59.6 - I suspect that the discrepancy of about 4 GB is being used by the iOS.
