Apple faces lawsuit over storage space on iPhones and iPads

• Firm failed to tell consumers that iOS 8 software could take up as much as 23.1% 
• People who bought the law suit are seeking $5m (£3.3m) in damages and a trial by jury
• The defendant fails to disclose to consumers that as much as 23.1% of the advertised storage capacity of the devices will be consumed by iOS 8

Following complaints about the large amount of storage that Apple’s latest software iOS 8 takes up on its iPhones and iPads, the US tech firm is being sued for the alleged misrepresentation of the storage capacity of the devices. The suit is being brought on behalf of two Miami residents, Paul Orshan and Christopher Endara, who claim to have bought iPhones and iPads in the last year advertised with 16GB of storage but providing less to the user.

Many users are effected by this issues and has damaged apples public image. It is standard practice for consumer electronics manufacturers to advertise the total storage capacity of their devices without disclosing the amount taken up by the pre-loaded software.
