How many GB

[iMore Question]

I just bought a 32GB 5s iphone and when i check the capacity, it shows 27.5 GB.....why?

That's what's available for storage after iOS is installed

The missing memory is taken up by Native Software. This happens to all 32GB Apple devices so nothing to worry about.

Just like with a computer the operating system takes up some of the memory

My next iPhone will be a 64gb (iphone 6)...thats for sure

It's perfectly normal.
