IPhone 6 plus 16GB actual free space

Hi,
I'm considering getting an iPhone 6 plus with 16gb space.
I was wondering how much is the actually free space?
and how big is the freshly installed iOS8 total size?
Thank You

I know that a portion is for the OS. But it under the storage it shows 1.3 GB used and 10GB free. There is at least 2GB missing. Now with some apps installed I have 5.4GB used and 6.4GB free. Thats 11.8GB, so the OS is 3-4GB in size?

  • IPhone 6 Plus 16GB Storage

    I bought today an iPhone 6 Plus 16GB and noticed that out of the 16GB 1.3GB were already used and that 10GB is free. When I had iPhone 5 16GB it had 14GB free.
    Is there anyway to retain the space?

  • Blue screen crash iPhone 6 Plus 16GB

    Hello,
    I bought an iPhone 6 Plus 16GB space gray, expecting that it would be exempt from any blue or red screen of death crashes.
    Alas after only a few days I have seen the first crash. I was running an app and the screen went solid blue in the top 2/3 and blue/black in the lower 1/3.
    Then it rebooted and a few seconds later I had the lock screen.
    I was under the impression that the crashes mentioned in the news were due to TLC flash.
    The 16GB phone is supposed to have a Hynix H2JTDG8UD1BMS part that is E2NAND3.0 technology. I have no idea if that is TLC or MLC or what.
    Has anyone else here seen the BSOD (blue screen of death) in the 16GB phone?
    Thanks.

    Your phone is still covered under warranty. Contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • Iphone 6 plus 16GB storage problem

    Halo Apple , i used iphone 5s 16GB , now i want to renew contract with Maxis but only got Iphone 6 Plus 16GB , i got apps like facebook&messenger , whatsapp , wechat , youtube , instragram , weibo , waze , google maps , car loan calculator , lunar calender , whosay , fifa 14 , 2000+ photos , 15 HD MTV , i see many forum said no enough , is that true ?

    Apple is not here.  The forum is for Apple users like you.
    As an Apple user, my opinion is you should either purchase an iPhone with more storage, or remove quite a few of the apps and/or data you mentioned.

  • Transfer Purchase from iPhone 5s to iTunes reducing free space?

    Sometime I Transfer Purchases from my iPhone 5s 32GB running iOS 7.0.4 using iTunes 11.1.4 for Mac and recently notice it reduced free space on the iPhone, even before doing any sync from iTunes.. several weeks ago just before Transfer Purchases there was 7GB of free space on the iPhone, after Transfer Purchases there's only 5.3GB left, I restart the phone and there's 5.9GB left
    Today there's 5.7GB free space, after Transfer Purchase there's only 4.3GB left, after restart the phone 4.7GB left
    Wondering what Transfer Purchase actually doing with the phone that increase the storage usage up to more than 1GB permanently..? and how do I reclaim those free space?

  • Need space on Iphone, syncing/deleting doesn't free space

    Hi everyone!
    Desperate!!!
    I need space on my Iphone for work + can't update anything anymore. So I synced everything on Icloud, synced on itunes. Despite those steps, here's my problems:
    On my iphone: I have 40 pictures but in itunes it stills show that I have 400 pics on my iphone
    I've deleted many many apps so I'm down to essentials ones
    Musics seems to take a lot of spaces but I'm with Icloud...what else can I do ?
    I have a 16gb iphone, that leaves 13.3go available. With the steps done above, I have only 1.7go available. To be able to install the update for IOS 8.1.2, it says I need 4,4go!!!! What the **** is that!
    Changing Iphone to a 32 or 64gb is not an option money wise.
    Thanks everyone!!!

    Hey MelRun,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Updating over the air takes much more room than updating with iTunes, but see if you have any orphaned files taking up space.
    If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    That discusses syncing, but also how to free up space.

  • Unable to restore backup after updating iphone 4, because "not enough free space"

    I updated my iphone 4 to v7 via itunes (v12), and in doing so, my camera roll was erased as were most of my calendar events.  I am trying to restore the backup that I created just before updating, but I get an error message in itunes that says "itunes could not restore the iphone" because "not enough free space".  There is 2.5gb free on my iphone, and I created the backup just before updating so there should be plenty of room.  Does anyone know how to get the iphone to restore and/or how to put my pics & calendar back?  itunes hangs up at the end while syncing too...

    hello again, don't post twice the same question, it won't be answered faster.
    see your previous thread: iphone 4 unable to restore backup after updating to v7

  • IPhone 6 Plus 16gb storage doubts?

    Why is it sold as 16gb of storage if the actual, real storage is then displayed (on both iTunes and the iPhone itself) as only 11.7gb?
    Where is the rest of the supposed storage? Is there a way to understand why it's this way?
    I'm not talking about how much I use, I'm talking about the total hardware storage.
    I bought a 16gb 'cause I've always only used about 12-13gb on my old 4S (64gb), so 64 was a waste of money in the end but now 32 isn't available anymore.
    I thought 16 will be more than enough, even if the real storage is then only about 15 or so.
    Leaving a couple gb out for iOS updates and stuff, should be no problem.
    BUT 11.7! Now I'll have to delete some things and I don't think it's fair to pay for 16 and get 11...
    Anyone have an idea? Is it only my phone in particular?

    The storage is occupied with iOS and system files. To free up some space you may try to reset and restore your device.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
    Press and hold on the Home button
    Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
    Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings
    If this does not help, try these steps. Note that this may erase the data from your computer.
    You need to restore your device to factory settings.
    Take a look this Apple Support article: Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
    If this does not help, try the recovery mode. Turn your device off, then plug it to your computer with the home button pressed. You will need to have iTunes installed on this computer. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the iTunes logo on the screen of your iPhone. After that on your computer you should see the iTunes window saying your iPhone needs to be restored to factory settings. Click on the restore button.

  • I have an iphone 4s  with 2gb of free space and when i try to put music on it, it tells me i cant because there is no space and im only adding 8mb so i cant add new music.. PLEASE HELP!

    Please HELP

    I'm having this same problem. I've got 21.36G audio, 8.73 photos, 11.64 apps, 2.12 other, and negligable books and video. With all of this, I have 13.27 gigs free, and the sync error says I need about 8 gigs more. I've got an iPhone 4S running the latest iOS 6. Also, I've been using checked items to manage what gets downloaded to the iPhone, and I noticed that the checked items add up to much, much more than is on the iPhone, even though I've downloaded within the last few weeks and have songs from a few weeks ago on the iPhone. Even so, there are about a hundred fewer songs on the iPhone than are checked in iTunes.

  • IPhone 6 Plus 16GB blue screen crashes: Read, error type:Address map hole or size mis-match

    Hi folks,
    Some time ago I had a 16GB 6+ and it crashed with the blue screen, so I returned it. I now have a brand new one that I got from Tmobile ($75 return fee) and although it has mostly worked just fine, I have gotten 2 blue screen crashes. Below are the details from the phone's log.
    What strikes me is the message "Read, error type:Address map hole or size mis-match".
    Does anyone know if this could be caused by a hardware defect?
    I've gotten one of these crashes running iOS 8.1.2 and another in 8.1.3.
    Thanks.

  • When will my iPhone 6 plus 128gb actually ship est. date Oct 24

    Does anyone with Verison or Apple know really when the preordered iphone6 plus 128 gb's will actually ship? My est. date is October 24. I really don't think I want to wait that long to spend nearly $1000. I can pick up a new android for half the price and not wait.

    The 6+ was already in very short supply before sales even began. Depending on when you placed your order you might get it sooner but in reality it all has to do with how fast Apple can make up the shortfall. Historically they've done a superb job at getting orders filled before a window has passed. With that said however I would buckle down to wait at 2 to 3 weeks after your order was placed to receive the 6+.

  • IPhone 6 Plus 16gb

    Is it suppose to be like that when I checked my status of my order today now it's showing the order # and a blank tracking number? It's not showing "we have recieved your order and is in the process" anymore. I'm glad that it updated but does this mean my phone is going to ship?

    hnlxhi808 Anyone who tells you here or on the phone is probably just guessing at when your device will ship.  You won't know when it's been shipped until you actually get a tracking number from the VZW website.  And if you call in and they give you a tracking number...check it while they're on the phone.  I've been reading that some reps have been spouting random numbers at people telling them it's a tracking number only to appease them and get them off the phone.  Just keep checking the site, keep watching your email (spam too if VZW email goes there) and wait until you get an email with tracking saying your phone has shipped.  Anything other than this will be just a random guess from someone else trying to appease you...

  • Iphone 6 plus (16GB) storage capacity

    Hi guys.
    How much storage is taken up by the operating system for ip6 plus?
    I recently bought my ip6 plus and as soon as I activated the unit, I checked the capacity (Settings>>General>>About) and it says Capacity: 11.8 GB.
    So the iOS is roughly 4++GB? Is it normal?
    Thanks!
    -Yson

    The iOS is part of that.  Reporting method, like most all computers, is the rest.

  • Missing Storage Space on iPhone 6 Plus

    I have an iPhone 6 Plus 16GB Verizon model and although I know this question has been asked a number of times, I can't seem to find an answer that actually makes sense to me so here goes.
    The phone was bought new in January 2015 and a backup from my old iPhone 5 was loaded onto this phone.  Going through the process, iTunes showed the phone as having a capacity of 14.x GB of space before the backup was installed.  After the backup, Settings - General - About shows capacity as 11.8 GB as seen below.
    So far so good.  I follow that the loss from the touted 16 GB down to 11.8 GB is due to formatting and iOS taking space.
    Now the part I don't seem to understand.  I just connected the phone to iTunes and did a backup and iTunes shows the phone as having 6.45 GB of available space.  If I eject the phone and reconnect to iTunes, it still shows that there is 6.45 GB of available space, yet when I go to Settings - General - Usage, it states that 8.5 GB are used and 3.3 GB are available as seen below.
    So, where is the missing 3.15 GB.  I clicked on Manage Storage and went through every item listed and added up all the space that these items are using and the total comes to 5.35 GB, yet it is saying  8.5 GB is used in the pic above.
    Can someone please explain where the missing 3.15 GB can be found.  I have only been using the phone for about 3 months and I don't stream music or videos, etc  and I do NOT have iOS 8.3 sitting on my phone waiting to be installed.
    I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me a rational explanation as to where this hidden 3 GB resides and how I can reclaim it.
    Thanks.
    Dan

    Hello Dan,
    I am having the exact same issue except mine might be a little worse. I restored my phone and "set up as new" about 3 times. I didn't have much to lose as far as "backup" was concerned so I just went ahead and wiped the whole phone clean. I am missing 10gb.
    I Have accepted the fact that iOS takes 5.2GB of storage to run my phone (which is ridiculous). I have also added up all my used data in the "manage storage" portion in setting and it adds up to about 2gb. So basically I have about 10GB unaccounted for. I chatted with apple twice and talked to supervisors and they all tried to walk me through the same process of restoring, rebooting, clearing cache, resetting etc. nothing has worked. I've come to the conclusion that it's a faulty flash drive and we just need to return our phones for new ones. Nothing can be done.
