10. Q: How many songs/videos can iPhone hold?
A: An 8 GB iPhone holds approximately 1500 typical pop songs (assuming about 5 MB per MP3 or AAC song). A 32 GB iPhone holds around 6000 typical pop songs. iPhones have had varying storage capacities ranging from 4 GB (original iPhone, 2007) to 32 GB (iPhone 3GS, June 2009). Some of the iPhone’s storage is used for the operating system and for optional third-party applications (available from the App Store), so not all of this space is available to store songs and videos. The first generation 8 GB model had 7.24 GB of free space before it was set up by iTunes.
