Mar 5, 2013 5:53 AM in response to ianfrombangorby Ralph Landry1,The operating system will only take a couple of GB of that storage, so you can expect somewhere around 126 GB storage space. By the way, that 128 GB is storage, not memory. The memory is 1 GB for the newer models.

Mar 5, 2013 8:32 AM in response to ianfrombangorby Phil0124,In actual physical storage space you should have around 116 to 117 GB.
Memory which is different from storage space is 1 GB.

Mar 5, 2013 8:41 AM in response to hexonxonxby lllaass,That is mainly because of how disk/storage space is advertised and how it is actually used. See:
How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity
The 128 GB iPad has 128 GB of storage but iOS (and OSX) uses
1 GB is calculated as 1,073,741,824 bytes.
As the GB of storage goes ups, the more "GB" are lost to the conversion.

Dec 13, 2013 8:18 PM in response to ianfrombangorby \dev\null,I just got the new iPad Air 128 gb today and after going thru setup prompts there was 115 Useable Capacity - 13 gigs loss is disappointing but nothing to fret over I guess - 115 is still a lot of space

But you aren't loosing 13GB. Read llaass' link about it. You'll see in reality you are only loosing abou 4GB to OS and preinstalled Apps.
