Q: iPhone 5s storage capacity
I have recently bought a 32GB iPhone 5s and realised that i had storage capacity of 27.53GB before installing any applications. i know im new to the iPhone 5s and iOS7, but the difference of about 4.5GB that goes unaccounted was quiet striking to me. so what i would like to find out from the community is whether it is normal to lose such memory (about 15% on the initial set up, operating system, etc.), when i would expect to have memory somewhere around 30GB? is this normal or do i have a legitimate concern? because i cant help but wonder how much memory i would have foregone had i bought a 16GB phone. somebody please help.
iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4
