Apple Lawsuit Alleges False Representation of Storage Capacity

Audet & Partners, LLP is actively engaged in Apple device litigation involving a class action lawsuit against Apple Inc. for the company’s alleged misrepresentation of storage capacity in its iPhone and iPad devices. The lawsuit claims that Apple advertised certain devices as having 16 GB of storage, while the actual usable storage space was significantly reduced due to the operating system and pre-installed applications that could not be removed by users. This litigation specifically alleges that iOS 8 and other non-removable applications occupied as much as 3.5 GB of storage, leaving consumers with far less usable space than advertised.

Overview of the Apple Device Litigation

This Apple device litigation is centered on the claim that consumers were misled regarding the amount of storage they would have available on their devices. Apple has been accused of deceptive marketing practices for not clearly disclosing how much storage would be taken up by the operating system and built-in apps. As a result, many users who purchased iPhones and iPads with 16 GB of storage capacity discovered that a significant portion of that space was unavailable, limiting their ability to store photos, videos, and other personal data.

The Apple device litigation aims to hold the company accountable for its misleading storage capacity claims, seeking compensation for consumers who were affected by the reduced storage on their devices.
