Two consumers sued Apple for omitting data on “the unexpectedly large percentage” of memory occupies the new iOS operating system 8 on iPhones, iPads and iPods of 8 and 16 GB capacity and, according to the complainants, the company did not inform its users.
Demand collective, which today has had access Efe, was filed on December 30 before a court of the State of California by users and Christopher Paul Orshan Endara, Northern District Miami residents.
The two customers requested the court to bring to justice the company based in Cupertino (California, USA) to repair damage to their customers, which the complainants were the subject of false advertising.
Users claim that Apple did not inform its customers that up to 23.1% of the storage capacity their iPhones, iPads and iPods would be occupied by the new operating system iOS 8 so that this memory could be exploited by users.
They claim that the company provides customers with less capacity and announced that also sells “aggressively” a monthly fee for users to store their files in iCloud, the cloud storage system company that works similarly Dropbox or Google Drive.
When the internal capacity appears as “full”, a popup window offers the opportunity to buy more internal memory to iCloud for a price ranging between $ 0.99 and $ 29.99 per month, the lawsuit said.
In the brief, attorneys branded as “ironic “Apple advertise your iOS system 8 as” the biggest launch of iOS in history “and base their complaint on the experience of the two complainants and complaints from other Internet users.
They refer to the experience of a blogger who complained that the iPad could only hold 13 gigabytes of capacity after the iOS system had been installed, although the company had advertised a memory 16GB
The plaintiffs argue that the company Tim Cook has violated several articles of three state laws. one that protects the right to competition between companies, one that protects the rights of consumers and more to combat misleading advertising.
In this sense, argue that company “knew or should have known, that their distortions and omissions led to the omission of relevant facts and the likely reasonable consumer deception.”
Therefore, they requested the court to take Apple to court on these charges and requested an immediate halt to the” wrong behavior “carried out by” unjust and lawless business. “
In addition, the plaintiffs are asking the court to compel the company’s bitten apple to repair damage caused to customers and undertake a campaign to correct the alleged mistake .
