Q: iTunes is misreporting iPhone capacity
I have an iPhone 6 running iOS 10.0.0, capacity is 16GB. According to the phone itself, I have 143.5MB of free storage remaining, but when I attempt to sync on iTunes it says that the phone is anywhere from 3.35 to ~5GB over capacity. Part of what doesn't make any sense about this is that it reports that I have 5.5GB of audio, in 97 songs, but I don't keep any locally stored music, whether on my phone or on my MacBook. I do have podcasts, but not 5.5GB worth, and they are deleted when I am finished with them anyway. This has been an issue since iOS 9.3.5 and I was hoping it'd just turn out to be a bug that would be fixed in the update.
