Apple accused of overstating the amounts of memory of mobile devices Bashny.Net

The plaintiffs in Florida surprised: 16 GB iPhone can record only 13 GB



Paul Orsha and Christopher Endara sent a lawsuit against Apple. It Cupertino giant is accused of inflating the actual volume of the permanent storage of their mobile devices. The suit is not a collective, although trying to get this status.

Anyone modern smartphones familiar with this situation: the amount advertised in gigabytes or other multiples of ten units. But in the majority of cases, the end user can manage a much smaller volume of permanent storage - part of the "eaten off" operating system, some by the difference between decimal (kilo, mega, giga) and binary (Kibi, mebi, HIBI) consoles.

It seems that this injustice must be perceived as almost everything, but not two residents of Miami. They say that they bought the iPhone and iPad 16 GB was available storage volume smaller than stated. After the upgrade iOS version 7 to 8 volume of available memory dropped even lower. The plaintiffs point out that there are not weak irony in how iOS 8 calls producer - "the biggest update iOS in history».

And it can happen very unfortunate, when you need to shoot a video or take a picture of a memorable moment, according to the lawsuit. Each of the shortfall is estimated at 400-500 gigabytes of high-resolution pictures.
