It takes up that much because the operating system and other essential files take up 7.62GB. It varies a little between different iPhone 6 variants, but the figure you cite is not unusual.
There's no fix, it is what it is. That's why I always buy my iPhones with the largest amount of storage offered by Apple, so I currently use a three year old iPhone 6 with 128GB. That means that for me, the OS only takes up a nibble of my total available storage where for you it represents a big bite out of the total. It could be worse: you could have a lowly 16GB shared with the OS.
You can improve matters by subscribing to iCloud at the cheapest monthly subscription (mine is £2.99 pie month) so that your phone then stores as much data as possible to iCloud and only fetches it back to your phone when required. That also allows you to set the iPhone to perform automatic backups so that if you ever need to restore your iPhone to factory defaults, you can quickly and easily restore your data back to the phone.
Its a 32GB iPhone for the record in your case. For my 128GB iPhone it takes up 9.32GB.
I don't know the specifics but that sounds fairly close to normal as far as what iOS usually takes up. You could try other means of clearing space. Usually that section would detail possible options to do so.
- Why is there so much gigs missing from my iphone? Please send I got a 16gb iphone 5, And it works just fine. But when i look into itunes it says 4gbs are used in apps and 7 GBS in "other"! I know the os takes memory but it can't be almost half my total memory!
- Why does only one speaker work when I connect my iphone to my Hi Fi system? I brought a brand new Hi Fi system today, tested in the shop with my iPhone connected and it worked fine, both speakers working. I tried it when I got home and now only one speaker works when my iPhone is connected using the audio in cable. Both speakers work fine when a CD is playing, why is this happening?
- Why does my iphone have 4 gigs of other stored on it? When I plug my iphone into my laptop it says there's 4.8 gigs of a category called other? What is that and how can I remove it?
- Why does my iPhone 5 which Is sold with 32 gigs say only 28.1 gigs available? I got a 32 gig iPhone 5 and in the systems it says it's capacity is 28.1 gigs. I'm guessing it has something to do with system files and the iOS, but I'm not sure
