Just got this phone and when I go to settings and check available storage it only indicates 12G. Am I missing something here?
Things like computers and phones have programs and software already installed which do eat into the available GB. Losing 4GB seems a bit high to me, but you could go through your applications and see if you can uninstall anything.
Up to 50% available memory can be reserved for system files and recovery partitions. I believe the iPhones may take up about 3-4GB of user storage. IOW, a 16GB iPhone may have only 12GB usable storage due to immovable and inaccessible files and OS system requirements.
12 to 13 GB is the expected amount.
How much space is initially available for storage on 16gb Iphone 6 ? - Apple Store (U.S.)
