It is normal.
This happens for all the USB-keys (but also for any hard-drive or memory stick) and this concerns all the brands.
Indeed, your computer (Mac or PC) uses the base-2 numeral system, so it displays the value in Gibibyte (gibibyte) instead of in Gybabyte (the base-10 numeral system used on the packaging).
Furthermore, all the USB-keys uses a part of the storage for storing system data such controller, icons...
That's why, the current available storage capacity is slightly less than what is shown on the packaging.
But it is quite normal.
