If you purchased a new 16 GB iPhone or iPad in California, with iOS 8 preinstalled, between September 17, 2014 and September 30, 2016, you could be included in a class action lawsuit.
A class action lawsuit, Orshan et al. v. Apple Inc., No. 5:14-cv-05659-EJD (“Orshan v. Apple” or “Orshan”), is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Court”) against defendant Apple Inc. (“Apple”). The lawsuit alleges that some new 16 GB iPhones and iPads sold between September 17, 2014 and September 30, 2016 came with a preinstalled operating system, iOS 8, which occupied approximately 3GB of those devices’ 16GB storage capacity. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit claim that Apple made misrepresentations and omissions concerning the devices’ storage capacity and the size of iOS 8. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that since iOS 8 occupied approximately 3 GB of the devices’ storage capacity, Apple misled consumers into believing they would have more storage capacity available for their personal use than they received. Apple denies that it did anything improper or unlawful, and Apple has asserted numerous defenses to the claims in this case.
