Apple was called out on this a while ago for saying you have 16 gigs of storage when your OS takes up a chunk of it. Every phone provider does this but to compensate i wish they would just give us more memory for free in the cloud.

You too are confusing Memory with Storage Space. The same happens on any Smart Phone, Tablet or PC. There is no compensation. Like it or leave it, be it Apple, Android or Windows.
