Any space that is available in the iPhone after firmware,ios and inbuilt apps installation can be used to store music.

And this space taken depends on the ios version. Read the data given below for an iPhone 4S and you will get an idea(Data from real experience)


iPhone 4S

Marketed memory size: 8GB

Available in practice : 7.46GB

Available after installing firmware, ios and inbuilt apps: 6.0GB(ios7)

5.5GB(ios8)

5.4GB(ios9)


This will more or less similar for newer models and higher capacities.

Except that it's NOT "very simple"


The phone displays space in base 2 GB, where 1 KB =1024 bytes. Thus 7.46 GB (base 2) is exactly the same as 8 GB (base 10). See: How OS X and iOS report storage capacity for a more detailed explanation.

The other numbers are also base 2 measurements, so, for example, 6.0 GB is actually 6.42 GB if measured in base 10.


It will not be similar for higher capacities, because iOS takes more space as the memory capacity goes up, as it needs more space to store the storage allocation maps.

I have an Iphone 5 , 8 gb. There is only 5 gb available for storage. It stored 50 albums per the 5 gb. The other 3 is used by the phone. At 10 songs per album (about) , that is 500 songs. So for a 128 gb phone at 120 gb storage, I would get 100 * 120 = 12000? songs. Apple states 15000 songs. This doesn't match what others have said. They are stating that 128 gb phone you would get less than 10000. I store all my music on the phone since I DO NOT USE the icloud for security reasons.
