Hi guys. New to the 11 pro max and i have a question about storage. So my settings tell me i have 64GB of storage with 54GB left. Sounds about right i guess but i just downloaded sysinfo app to use as a widget which provides me with storage information and battery % etc

It gives the correct battery % but tells me that my storage is 59.5GB with 48.9GB remaining?

What gives? Is this given me a wrong reading or what?

I don’t know. The built-in information may include photos and video yet to sync to the device whereas the other isn’t. Still, I’m only speculating.

I have pretty much started with a clean slate so there is nothing to sync to the device. Shouldn't it at least acknowledge 64GB of storage rather then 59.5?

If you’re referring to the 3rd party app you mentioned then yes, you would think it would. Reach out to the app’s developer to get his or her take on it.
