Apple Sued Because Iphone Isn't Really 16 GB by francis247(m): 9:55am On Jan 03, 2015
If you have a 16 GB iPhone, you've probably noticed that
you don't really 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's misrepresentations and omissions are deceptive and
misleading because they omit material facts that an average
consumer would consider in deciding whether to purchase its
products," the plaintiffs say in their complaint.
Rather than try to cram everything into what little space
they have on their smartphones, many people choose to back
up their photos, videos and other content on cloud services,
such as Apple's iCloud. But the plaintiffs say that's all part
of Apple's game.
"Apple exploits the discrepancy between represented and
available capacity for its own gain by offering to sell, and by
selling, cloud storage capacity to purchasers whose internal
storage capacity is at or near exhaustion," the complaint
says. http://money.cnn.com/2015/01/02/technology/mobile/apple-iphone-lawsuit/index.html?sr=fbmoney010215apple0630story

cheesy Court that called a Samsung tablet a 'Samsung ipad'. I doubt if the judge will even know what phone memory capacity is all about.
