Phone capacity identification iPhone 5

I am trying to replace the battery for my iPhone 5. The kits available on ifixit are for phone capacity 16 GB, 32GB and 64GB. When I check my phone capacity it seems its 12,5GB......which "battery replacement kit" should I pick then? If I get the 16GB - will it be compatible with my phone?

Is this a good question?

Hi Anna. If your iPhone shows 12.5GB as the capacity, then you have the 16GB model. iOS requires several GB of space so even a brand new, freshly formatted phone will only show ~12GB of free space.

As Gigabit says, the parts are all interchangeable.

Sorry, get the 16GB model one. The actual storage capacity is always less than what they say :)
