I did have the issue with storage showing more storage available than capacity on my device. I reported it through the feedback app but never heard anything about it.
Got a tip for us?

Some Users Plagued by Incorrect 'iPhone Storage Almost Full' Alert After Updating to iOS 15

I posted about this yesterday to the forums and Apple Discussions. It gives me the storage full error when I try to sync. It won't allow me to transfer over music I've added to Apple Music on my Mac. Irritating. But hopefully this will give Apple some incentive to address this.

iPhone not syncing music with Mac
Since I've updated to iOS 15, I cannot sync music to my iPhone. I've added two songs to Apple Music on my Mac, and attempted to sync with my iPhone so I could play them on the iPhone. But the iPhone never imports the songs (.mp3) although they appear and play in Apple Music on my Mac. I...

My issue is the opposite, my phone says it has 350gb free even though it’s a 256gb model. It’s been like this since the public betas though.

You missed a great opportunity there...

Sometimes I'm not sure why I read through some of these articles. I guess it's a good thing to know, but crazy that people are complaining so much. As one fo the first commenters stated, first world problems. Article was interesting, the people complaining... well, that's another story.
Unpopular opinion, but in-place upgrading is always a bad move.
Start with a clean slate each major release and you really can't go wrong.

Interesting theory... thank you... are you suggesting I perform an encrypted backup of iOS 14, completely erase the phone and install iOS 15, then restore from the iOS 14 encrypted backup?
Other than the many hours of work required to re-enter a million passwords, change a million settings, re-authorize corporate apps with calls to I.T., etc.
I don't know if I'd say it's always a bad move, but it does have risks. That said, I'm wiping mine first with this one.
That solves the typical password issue, but absolutely does not solve the corporate apps authorization issue, where you have to re-authorize things on the server.
Not to mention, if you are doing a restore, then you aren’t doing everything “fresh.” Many problems will be re-triggered by restoring from the backup.
Maybe iOS 15 is so bad dantracht thinks we should go back 10 years to iOS 5.0.1 🤷♂️
Back to simpler times when it just worked
Problem is most people who run the beta do it for cool value, and don't understand that it's to test and report bugs... then complain that it wasn't fixed in the beta and still appears in the final release.
Unless you're a sucker for pain, don't update your devices right away. This is Apple's new MO now. Break it and release a 0.1 or 0.1.1 update a week later to fix their mistake. Of course there are exception when critical security update needs to be applied immediately.
