Hey guys and gals,

So my iPhone 5 (32GB) seems to be low on memory yet I cannot account for it. From the 32GB, I have about 26GB to use and I'm down to 2.5GB free.

Usage is as follows:
Music - 9.7GB
Photos - 2.9GB
Echofon 399MB
etc. etc.

With a majority of apps under 200MB, (26-10-3=13GB) and there is no way all the smaller apps that I have add to 13GB. So it seem that I'm missing a few GB. Thoughts?

The actual formatted memory is supposed to be lower than 32GB, but it shouldn't be that low, I have a 16GB and I have 14.5GB formatted, meaning 1.5 gig for os and stuff. I suggest you book a genius bar appointment and query it?
