Storage capacity of iTunes on an iPhone

Before I buy and iPhone I would like to know what is the storage capacity of iTunes is on the iPhone, average # of songs. I have 2700 songs stored on my iPod; the AT&T store rep said the iphone wouldn't hold that much but he couldn't tell me what it would hold. Also I understand that music playback uses lots of battery, is this true?

What capacity iPhone are you considering?
My 32GB iPhone 3GS currently has 2552 songs on it and is nowhere near full. It also has 2 TV series and 5 movies, plus 71 applications and 209 photos with 7.7GB free.
It all depends on what quality and length these songs you have are, and the capacity of iPhone you get.
On a 32GB iPhone you'll easily fit 2700 songs.
Music playback does not use lots of battery. Out of all the things the iPhone can do, music playback is possibly one of the least power hungry.

  • Is there any way to increase the storage capacity on my 16 GB iPhone 4s?

    I constantly have to delete music, apps, and photos because my storage space keeps running out. Thank you

    There is no way to expand the storage on an iPhone. You can fit a little more on it by connecting it to iTunes, click on its name, then check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC". The next time you sync music this will compress your music so it takes less space, at the cost of some audio quality. But probably not enough to notice unless you have $1,000 headphones.

  • My iPhone still has low storage capacity inspite of getting iTunes Match -

    I recently got iTunes match  - hoping to get more storage space in my iPhone . My IPhone still shows 6.3 GB of stored music with still minimal capacity for further storage(550 MB)
    Was I wrong in presuming I would get more storage capacity by putting my music on iTunes Match.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Even though you have iTunes Match, you will still need to delete music from the phone to create more space, although iTunes Match will automatically delete your least played music automatically when more space is needed on the phone.

    Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

  • My iPhone 4 says it has 15 GB of "Other" in the storage bar in iTunes. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    My iPhone 4 says it has 15 GB of "Other" in the storage bar in iTunes. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    In my case, this must be me. My iPhone has a bug - it's not any of the other things that are considered "other". It's just an issue. I've researched for over an hour, reduced every settings imagineable (Other doesn't go down - in fact, it goes up, almost like, because I freed up space, it wants to fill in the remaining space). I called Apple - after one hour of being inadvertently hung up on twice (they took my number to call me back in case disconnected and never did - amazing) and then talking to another 3 reps, they just "guessed" which I find offensive to my time - just say "I don't know but if you are willing to take a chance, here's a thought..." rather than not be able to say "I don't know".  Warning: Resets DO NOT solve this problem unless you do a clean wipe out and start from scratch (w/o restoring your stuff).  Two hours later, I've resolved to wipe out my phone.

  • My wife's new iPhone was automatically backing up to iCloud. Now my 5mb limit is not allowing me to get my email. I turned off the automatic backup, but I do I get the storage capacity back?

    My wife's new iPhone was automatically backing up to iCloud. Now my 5mb limit is not allowing me to get my email. I turned off the automatic backup, but I do I get the storage capacity back?

    Turning off automatic backup doesn't delete anything from your account, it only stops it from continuing to back up to iCloud.  If you want to reduce your iCloud storage, this article provides some suggestions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

  • My iphone 4 has no more storage capacity, i have deleted apps but its not freeing up any memory, can anyone advise?

    my iphone 4 has no more storage capacity, i have deleted apps but its not freeing up any memory, can anyone advise?

    Well if you have 3 gigs of music that is taking up half right there. Pictures and videos also take up a lot of space as well. Another thing is texts are saved on the phone. Try deleting them but texts don't nomally take up a lot of space.

  • Storage capacity is stated as being full, but all audio, video, apps, docs, etc. only add up to 7.6 GB out of 12 GB.  iTunes shows that I am all of a sudden using 5.6 GB listed under "OTHER".  What happened?

    Why is storage capacity shown as full when it is not? Phone shows storage of only 7.6 GB out of 13 GB, but says I have no more storage.  iTunes indicates I am using 5.6 GB under the category "OTHER".  This is a sudden change.  What happened?

  • I have recently upgraded to an iphone 5. When trying to sync/ back up with my current i tunes settings. I get the message the it 1.6GB over the storage capacity. Although when syncing my i phone 4 (same size 16GB) i do not have any problems?

    iOS uses more memory on the iPhone 5 than the iPhone 4 because there are quite a few more to iPhone 5. Therefore there will be less memory available on the 5. Reluctantly iOS 7, coming this fall, uses a bit less memory than iOS 6 so if you can do without a few apps until then you should be gravy!

  • 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.

  • IPhone 5 Data / Media Storage Capacity

    I plan to upgrade from an iPhone 4 to 5 but am a bit confused on whether I should get the iPhone 5 16GB, 32GB or 64GB. Based on the new iPhone 5 features, can someone please tell me how many photos, songs and minutes of videos from the iPhone 5 video camera can be stored on a 16GB ? Thanks.

    Thanks, guys.
    CoasterFanFL - yes, I'm confused coz I have an iPhone 4 and upgrading to an iPhone so there is definitely a 3 megapixels difference in the camera and possibly the quality of the video recording as well. If I get an iPhone 5 16GB and I use 2GB for songs, 2GB for applications and 2GB for photos, I wonder how much GB remaining can I use for video recording in terms of minutes. Also, my understanding is that you don't get the full 16GB of data space / storage space when you get the iPhone 5 16GB out of the box. Is this correct ?

  • 1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

    HI Frostyfrog
    CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
    it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
    I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
    The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
    Good luck
