Hi, I think that what you are referring to comes from the fact that manufacturers, including Apple, often define a gigabyte as one billion bytes when reporting the capacity of their devices. However, computer operating systems define a gigabyte as something slightly larger. As a result, if you look at the total size of almost any volume, including your computers hard drive, total capacity will be shown by the computer as something slightly smaller than what the manufacturer states. My 32 gig iPhone shows as having a total capacity of a little over 28 gigs.

And it is the 64GB model. Now I know it comes preloaded with some stuff, but 8GB? It is telling me all I have available is 56GB, and this is when I first plug it in, is this normal? Or is something wrong here? Thanks.
