A class action lawsuit filed in California by Florida based
Paul Orshan and Christopher Endara stated, in their legal complaint,
that the latest operating system from Apple, iOS 8 uses so much on
device storage that the advertised device capacity seems quite
misleading. Apple does not disclose to its consumers that about 23 % of
the advertised storage may be claimed by the iOS 8 when they buy the
devices that were shipped with iOS 8.
If you unwrapped a new i-gadget this holiday season, you may have
received an unpleasant surprise over how much of the 16gb storage is
actually available to you.
Some consumers are taking Apple to court over the difference between
advertised storage space and what’s available for real use for apps,
music and movies across all platforms, from the iPod and iPhone to the
iPad.
According to the BBC, a complaint was filed Tuesday by two people
from Miami, Paul Orshan and Christopher Endara. They claim the latest
operating system, iOS 8, can take as much as 23 percent of the memory on
some devices from the tech giant.
Because of the size of the memory used for iOS8, the pair say it is
forcing Apple users to sign up for the fee-based version of the
company’s iCloud storage system, CBS News reported.
This is not the first time for Apple to be questioned about storage on its devices.
CBS found Apple had been sued, and won the case, that claimed the
advertised memory for an iPod in 2007 was more than 7 percent more than
was available to owners – an 8GB player only had 7.45GB of available
storage.
As part of this new complaint, the Wall Street Journal reported, the
plaintiffs said Apple products don’t have a way to use a memory card
like other manufacturers.
An Apple representative did not comment when asked by multiple media outlets.
