About Mebibytes
A mebibyte (MiB) = 2²⁰ = 1,048,576 bytes (IEC 80000-13). Windows/older macOS report sizes in MiB but label them 'MB'. Linux malloc and kernel pages are power-of-2 aligned. Docker images: Alpine base 5 MiB; Ubuntu 72 MiB. Linux kernel bzImage 8-12 MiB. NVIDIA RTX 4090: 24 GiB GDDR6X in 2-GiB binary chunks. 1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes = 1,024 KiB.
About Megabytes
A megabyte (MB) = 1,000,000 bytes (SI). Used by all storage manufacturers and by macOS (since 10.6), iOS, and Android. Typical file sizes: JPEG photo (50 MP) = 8-20 MB; 3-min MP3 at 128 kbit/s ≈ 2.9 MB; Android productivity APK 10-150 MB; full-frame RAW photo (Sony A7R V, 61 MP) 60-120 MB. H.264/H.265 achieves 30-100× compression vs. raw video. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes = 1,000 KB.
