I thought that at first, since that's what I'm used to in the PC space,
but I figured, since Apple controls the hardware and the operating
system, there's no reason they can't use the same definition of a
gigabyte. I suspect you're right though.

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.
Thanks,
Scott Duck

Okay, got my 5^th gen touch today. 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.
