The class action was filed on December 30 before a court of the state’s northern district of California for users Paul Orshan and Christopher Endara, Residents Miami .
The two customers requested the court to bring to justice based company Cupertino (California, USA) for to repair the damage caused to its customers, which the complainants were subjected to false advertising.
Users claim that Apple did not inform its customers that to 23.1 percent of the storage capacity of your iPhones, iPads and iPods would be occupied by the new iOS 8 operating system 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 system cloud storage company that works similarly to Dropbox or Google Drive .
When the internal capacity appears as “full”, a popup window offers the opportunity to buy more internal memory iCloud for a price ranging between 0.99 and $ 29.99 per month, the lawsuit said.
In the brief, attorneys branded as “ironic” that 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 a blogger who complained that the iPad could only hold 13 gigabytes of capacity after the system iOs had been installed, although the company had advertised a memory of 16 GB.
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 regard, they argue that the 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 that Apple brought to trial on these charges and requested an immediate halt to the “wrong behavior” carried out by “unfair business and outlaws “.
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 error.
