[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1815060, member: 56379"] I believe what you're seeing is the amount of "advertised" capacity...but not the actual usable capacity (true formatted capacity). If the first linked article above is checked out...it explains the math behind this...and also has a small table listing the actual true formatted capacity of iPhone's or iPad's with 16, 32, 64, and 128gig capacity: - 128GB: approx. 114gig - 64GB: approx. 56.5gig - 32GB: approx. 27.5gig - 16GB: approx. 11.5gig The article was written in 2016...and probably at that time 256gig devices weren't available. I did a little searching...and it looks like devices with an advertised capacity of 256gig...have a true useable formatted capacity of around 248gig. HTH,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
