That’s not how they treat iPhones- my capacity says 256GB.

The about page does list the total storage space including formatting and OS under “capacity” https://i.imgur.com/NuPiOgO.jpg

Why is that comment being downvoted? My iPhone says 64GB under Settings>About. I know that on Apple Watch it does not show the full capacity, but it does on iPhone so the comment above is true.

Ha thanks. My best bet is it would look bad to show 8GB capacity and only 2.5GB available after a fresh pairing.
