iPhone 3G S 32 GB Capacity

[scottuf]

Any guesses as to how much actual space is available on the 32gb version for music, movies, etc? i need to reduce my library size, and was wondering about how much.

 

[brosmooth]

33gb

With the new 32-gigabyte model, I was able to store over 3,000 songs, more than 1,600 photos, 74 videos, 67 applications, 400 emails, nearly 1,000 contacts, months of calendar data, and dozens of documents, and still have 5 gigabytes left over—more than most phones offer out of the box.

I'd guess 28.3 or so.

Are you ready for the "You mean I bought a 32GB iPhone 3GS and can't use all 32GB!!!!!!!" threads?

I wonder how long his back ups are?

That gives you 30.5GB minus some space for the OS. I'm sticking with my 28.3 prediction.

Pretty sure it'll be 31 GB

Memory isn't measured in the same way HDD space is.

We could probably ask someone with a 32gb iPod Touch...

Now that's thinking.

Anyone, anyone, Bueller?

You could click the link from the post above mine and see many responses from those who own ipod touches.

Should be between 28-30GB. If I had to guess I would say 29.1839485718.

My 16gb shows 14.64gb of usable space. My incredible math skills calculate double much that to be 29.28gb.

Of course, the easiest thing to do would be to ask a 32g iPod Touch owner as mentioned above (genius!).

We'll see on Friday, won't we?

i think this is the wrong way to approach this, if you have a 16gb and 14.64 of available space that means that the OS takes up 1.36 so if the os for the 3G S is 1.36 then you should have a little over 30, I dont think that just because the memory is larger that more space will be taken up.

i could be wrong, but it only makes sense

You're right, I'd bet money on the available space being >30GB. Flash memory is not measured like HDD space either, so there's no "loss" due to conversion between base 2 and base 10. The only space gone from 32GB will be the space reserved by the OS.

but you wouldn't do that, because the space the OS takes up doesn't double.. So you would take 14.64 and add 16, so it'd be around 30.64gb.

 

[Tee.Nutter]

I have a 32GB iPod touch and that was showing available capacity at 29GB, so I reckon around 28-29GB would be an educated guess

 

[lakaiordie]

I have a 35GB iPod touch and that was showing available capacity at 29GB, so I reckon around 28-29GB would be an educated guess

whered you get a 35gb ipod touch? lol

Not true.

 

[DarkJaye]

Not true.

Great post, full of useful content.

It's been true for every flash memory device I've owned.

So basically none, as flash drive manufacturers advertise in base 10 as well? Every flash memory device I've owned (around 10 flash drives and 2 phones) were advertised in base 10.

32GB, the term itself, is in base 10.
