4.8 GB of Other data on brand new iPhone 5?

4.8 GB of "Other" data on brand new iPhone 5?

Added (1). So I just bought a brand new iPhone 5 16GB, and already i have nearly 5 gigs of this stupid ghost data. I've barely browsed the internet or texted, so what gives? The only thing i have on there's 1.2 gigs of music, that's it. So my "capacity" is 12.8, and i'm all the way down to 5.42

4.8 could be apps. Stock firmware. Os requirements perhaps. That's expected.

Do you mean new to you or new entirely? Doubting it is new entirely since the 5 was discontinued for over 2 years now.

In any case since it is 'new' a restore should help clear out most of that Other data, but nothing would get rid of it entirely since that also contains iOS itself as well as other important files.
