How much storage is left over with preinstalled apps in a 32 Gb iPhone 6s and an iPhone 7?

I'm thinking about getting an iPhone 6s or 7 32gb, but space is a big issue for me, so if the iPhones come with a lot of preinstalled apps that limit that space, I might go with a samsung with SD card compatibility instead.

My current samsung phone really ***** for space and doesn't have the sd card compatibility! It has only 16gb of space and 13 gbs of that is used with preinstalled apps that I can't uninstall. I just don't want to make that mistake again.

A 32GB iPhone might have 26 or 27GB of space available. But remember that you must always have an absolute minimum of 10% free space for your iPhone to do its work. So you might plan on 22 or 23GB of useable space.

Of course, you can be clever about exactly what gets stored on the iPhone and what is left on a cloud, computer, etc.

Hello,

On my personal iPhone 7 Plus I have 28GB total storage available to use.

iOS takes about 4GB to 6GB, depending on the iPhone model. Out of the box, there should be about the 28GB to 26GB available. Like shown above, it also depends what is stored in iCould etc.
