Why is my 128gb saying 114gb capacity?

Between ios8 and the software, that is what is left over. You want more, start deleting stuff.
Iphone 6 128g out of the box had the same 114, mine was pre loaded with all those apps, I'm guessing that is the case. I had all these apps on my iPhone 5s 16g and I do not remember them taking up that large if a chunk of space on the phone..

No it's not. It's not false at all. They are giving you 128,000,000,000 bytes. The fact OS read in binary is the quirk here.
Too bad you haven't come to yours...I guess we're more alike than you care to admit!
Yeah, whatever works, my brother in douchebaggery! *kiss*
I like you!
I like you too. Let's ****.
man every one is so spoiled my first IBM xt had no hard drive but you could load the data from the disk drive and the largest discs available had a capacity of
720 kb therefore roughly speaking the new iPhone has the same amount of data capacity of 22.8 million floppy disks! Of course I was really cool as I had 256k for ram. assuming the iPhone 6 has 1 GB ram that means it has the same amount of ram as 3906 separate computers of this IBM model
just saying

That's a myth. Formatting probably takes a few kb at the most. The most I've ever seen was 200MB if you count the EFI partition as a formatting loss.
Actually, you're wrong. HDD manufacturers and Apple uses 1000MB = 1Gigabyte. Microsoft and others use 1024 MB = 1GB (Gibibyte). This is the main reason why a 2TB drive you buy at a store will show up as a 1.84 TB drive in Windows.
The OS and pre-installed apps account for that 14GB of data.
If the OS and pre-installed apps took 14GB, the 16GB phones would only have 2GB space left. That's not realistic.
Also Apple is inconsistent. Only OSX uses 1000MB for 1GB. iTunes and iOS devices use 1024MB just like everything else.
I don't understand why we have this problem in 2014. If you advertise 128GB, give me 128GB. Don't hide behind math formulas and fine print and give me 114GB. I mean, it's not like I paid $50 for this device.
