iOS 7 uses way less space than iOS 6??

[rye9]

I just finished updating, after a hellish experience

(Error code 6 during the update, then phone was stuck in recovery mode... had to reactivate it then restored from a backup. But the backup restored on top of the iOS 7 install so all seems fine...)

Anyways, now I have ~400MB space more than I did prior. Is this what everyone's seeing?

I don't know if it's normal or if I should be worried something went awry through the whole failed update + restore.

This is normal. Seems like you did a restore and the superfluous files got the axe.
