Aug 2, 2015 8:52 PM in response to Rublencoby P.Rebecca13,I have also been curious about this; and it makes me angry because I need more storage. It says I only have 5gb. What's up with that? I really hope someone will fix this problem or explain it to me.

It explains as you know why the storage shows as less on the system than it does printed on the SSD.
Now the other reason is it shows as less is the operating system iOS takes up space too, all those apps that come with your phone e.g. , Safari, Mail, Camera, Phone Messages.
One should always keep this in mind when determining the size of device that will meet their storage needs.
