>>The lawsuit alleges that Apple hid the size of the iOS8 update from users and then "aggressively marketed" additional cloud storage to those who ran out of storage space on their mobile devices.

You bought a 16 GB iPhone because you presumably didn't care about storage space in the first place. Furthermore, everyone knows that Apple is tying their whole ecosystem to the cloud. It's one of the selling features. Why pretend to be shocked they are offering you cloud storage solutions?

>>The issue primarily impacts owners of Apple's 16GB iPhones, iPads, and iPads. The operating system leaves as little as 12.3GB available to consumers on some devices.

Why is it unthinkable that a modern OS needs a little less than 4 GB? In my opinion ...

The problem lies in that they advertise specifically the size of their devices as storage space. Things like " this device's 16gb of storage can hold x hours of HD video!" when in reality, you don't have 16gb of storage space for HD video, and as such saying you can hold that much is a blatant falsification of advertising.

16gb phone and fresh activation with os updates and you are only left with 4 usable gigs. 2gb for the apps installed so the os is 10 GB!? hell ****sung gives you roughtly 9 GB to use on a phone with 16 GB on version 4.4.2. So either this is some serious partitioning errors or the worst coding job on an ios. iphone 5s users are upset that the new update may not leave enough room for their content or not update for loosing content. The true question is the user is only left with 4gb roughly of usage. is the coding that bad or they truly scamming on the partinoning of drives to further their need to push icloud services.

Sounds like a good reason to buy Android. People like myself have been warning iOS users for years about the lack of expandable storage on iPhones. So, if you finally realize we were right, maybe you want to buy a product that offers what you want as opposed to suing the manufacturer of a product that doesn't offer what you want.

Holy @#$@@# what are talking about? Why don't you go look at a fully loaded iphone 6 16GB model activated and then fully updated. YOU WILL SEE they only have 4GB of storage left as to why my many forums now are advising to skip 16GB model and why a lot of iPhone 5s users didn't wanna upgrade as there no room to download their content anymore. io7 left memory on the 16GB. Hell the 64GB version only allows 53GB for the user for ios 8.

not true at all.

I just updated my 5s finally to ios 8.1.2.. after restoring my device i have 4GB of free storage.

it's only 2GB if you do the OTA update. If there's anything to cry about, it's the fact that apple doesn't delete the download file after the update is complete, which I have seen many HTC devices do the same. Also another reason to cry - you don't own a computer to correctly do the software update.

This is a dumb suit.

I honestly don't listen to Apple's advertising. It has been quite the work of tech fiction ever since they made the switch to x86. But if that's what they're saying, then they should be sued for false advertising. Personally, I thought most of their commercials were a good case for false advertising over the last decade. So, I'm not surprised in that regard.
