Title: Apple faces dumb lawsuit over the size of iOS 8 Post by: HCK on January 02, 2015, 09:00:20 am Apple faces dumb lawsuit over the size of iOS 8
<article> <section class="page"> <p>iOS 8 has had its share of problems, and now we can throw one more on the pile: a lawsuit (http://www.theverge.com/2014/12/31/7474947/apple-sued-over-16gb-iphone-ipad-storage). Two plaintiffs have filed a suit claiming their 16GB iPhones and iPads don’t actually come with 16GB of storage, and iOS 8 takes up too much space—and Apple should make that clearer, in case we are all idiots who don’t get that operating systems do use storage.</p><p>Ars Technica’s iOS 8: Thoroughly Reviewed (http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/09/ios-8-thoroughly-reviewed/2/#install) includes a look at how much more storage space iOS 8 consumes, versus a clean install of iOS 7.1.2, and it does gobble a significant chunk: about 740MB on iPhones and 1.03GB on iPads. If you’re using a 16GB device, that’s 4.5 to 6.4 percent. Which doesn’t sound like a ton, but 740MB can hold a lot of photos.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2863911/apple-faces-dumb-lawsuit-over-the-size-of-ios-8.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Apple faces dumb lawsuit over the size of iOS 8 (http://www.macworld.com/article/2863911/apple-faces-dumb-lawsuit-over-the-size-of-ios-8.html#tk.rss_all) |
