iPhone 17 Pro Max Why is my 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max is actually 2,000GB?

[WillRRRR]

My 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max usually shows 1,024GB. I was hoping the 2TB model would be 2,048GB. I got my 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max through my Apple iPhone Upgrade Program yesterday. Unfortunately, I noticed my 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max shows 2,000GB instead of 2,048GB. 2,048GB would be nice to make an extra 48GB to cover the iOS size compared to 2,000GB.

Why is the 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max 2,000GB instead of 2,048GB?

Perhaps iOS 26 now shows storage in Base-10 vs Base-2. If you don't know what I am referring to, I'll leave the Google/ChatGPT search as an exercise for the reader.
