I went back and forth on whether to show the real storage situation or the one that's presented by Apple.
We show actual bytes used on the media, Apple only shows stuff that can't be jettisoned. And everyone asks about the discrepancy because they have no idea why it would be different. Neither did I at first!
But knowing the true status can be important because reclaiming space can be a bottleneck for all kinds of things.
