Did You Run Out of Space on Your iPhone or iPad? You May Qualify for Compensation.
If you purchased an Apple device with 16GB of storage before October 2015, you may be eligible to join a class action lawsuit.
Many consumers were shocked to discover that a significant portion of their device’s storage was already consumed by Apple’s pre-installed operating system—leaving far less room for apps, photos, videos, and other content than expected. If this happened to you, you’re not alone—and you may have legal rights.
About the Apple Device Storage Lawsuit
Audet & Partners, LLP is investigating claims that Apple misrepresented the actual usable storage on its 16GB iPhones and iPads.
In some cases, users found that more than 3GB of their 16GB device was taken up by iOS, dramatically reducing available space. To make matters worse, some consumers were prompted to purchase additional iCloud storage once their device ran out of room.
We believe this practice may have violated state consumer protection and advertising laws, and we’re working to ensure consumers have the opportunity to seek compensation or restitution.
We’ve Taken on Apple Before—and We’re Ready Again.
In 2014, Audet & Partners, LLP filed Orshan v. Apple Inc., Case No. 5:14-cv-05659 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. This class action lawsuit alleged that Apple’s iOS 8 operating system consumed an unexpectedly large portion of available storage on 16GB devices—and that Apple failed to adequately disclose this to customers.
Our firm helped bring national attention to deceptive storage practices and continues to advocate for fair and transparent consumer technology.
If you were affected by limited storage on your Apple device, we encourage you to see if you qualify.
