The Microsoft Surface Isn’t Rosy
Some quick web searching suggests that the 16GB iPad has closer to 13.5GB free.
My guess is that iOS reserves more space on the larger devices for its own internal use.

The amount also varies by the version of iOS installed, and if delta updates have been applied (they take up a lot more room, though I'm not sure why).
