Apple is facing a lawsuit for not telling users about the amount of memory required by its flagship operating system.<\/p>\n
The legal complaint revolves around iOS 8 and the amount of memory it reserves for itself on iPods, iPhones and iPads.<\/p>\n
The complaint alleges that it takes up so much space that far less than advertised is left for people to store their own data.<\/p>\n
Apple has yet to issue any official comment on the lawsuit.<\/p>\n
Update upset<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The complaint has been filed in California by Miami residents Paul Orshan and Christopher Endara who say that iOS 8 can occupy up to 23.1% of the memory available on some Apple devices.<\/p>\n In addition, upgrading devices from the earlier iOS 7 to 8 can cause people to lose up to 1.3 gigabytes of memory, said papers filed in support of the legal action.<\/p>\n The amount of memory taken up by iOS 8 can mean users run out of storage and, the pair allege, this is helping Apple force people to sign up for its fee-based iCloud storage system.<\/p>\n The lawsuit is seeking millions of dollars in damages for those using Apple devices facing the storage squeeze.<\/p>\n So far, Apple has not responded to requests for comment on the lawsuit.<\/p>\n The latest upgrade to iOS 8 was released in late September but Apple was forced to withdraw and then re-issue it because the first version meant a lot of iPhone 6 and Plus handsets could no longer make calls.<\/p>\n Apple issued a public apology over the botched update but said only 40,000 people were affected by it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Source: BBC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apple is facing a lawsuit for not telling users about the amount of memory required by its flagship operating system.
