Not sure that's quite accurate.

Either Jolla are using the JEDEC consortium's nomenclature, in which case 1GB = 1GiB, and therefore we have a difference of 2.3GiB

Or they are using IEC, which means that the the 13.7GB figure quoted would then represent 12.76GiB - so there's a 2.2GiB difference.

In either case we find over 2GiB is being used up by the OS/firmware and is unavailable to users.
