If you have a 16 GB iPhone, you've probably noticed that you don'treally have 16 GB of storage space -- some of that space is taken up by Apple's iOS software. But you probably haven't thought to sue Apple over it.
That's the difference between you and two Apple (AAPL, Tech30) customers in Miami who sued Apple for their incredible shrinking storage.
The plaintiffs filed their lawsuit in a California federal court on Tuesday, and they are seeking permission to make their complaint a class action suit. They are seeking more than $5 million in damages for what they say is Apple's false advertising.
Apple's new iOS 8 software takes up 3 GB of storage on an iPhone 6. That's 19% of the phone's 16 GB of advertised storage. The iOS 8 software takes up 20% of an iPhone 6 Plus' storage and 21% of an iPad's free space.

Apple sucks anyway. Inferior products that are severely limited.
ReplyDeleteThey will lose.
ReplyDeleteApple saying their iPhone has 16GB of storage is akin to a PC manufacture advertizing a desktop computer with a 250GB hard drive.
I have a droid, and recently was given an I6 for work.
ReplyDeleteThe I6 just plain sucks!
