Today’s smartphones, including the iPhone, despite the enormous progress in reducing the cost of flash memory, often sold with only 16 GB built-in storage. And if the majority of Android-devices it is not such a big problem because of the cards microSD, then the iPhone and iPad this is not possible (customers must either purchase the 16 GB unit, or significantly more expensive – more than a capacity version).
Two user devices Apple from Miami (USA, Florida) decided to apply for Cupertino company to court for what the company incorrectly indicates the amount of memory available to users, and after updating to iOS iPhone 5S on iOS 7 8 available space is further reduced.

Apple is not the first time such an accused. For example, in 2007 against the company was sued for what advertising 8GB iPod Nano players have not been reported that the user is available only 7.45 GB (7.5% less). But, by the way, the problem is often more serious: for example, Microsoft was accused that users baselines Surface could dispose of only a half drive from the significant volume of the OS.
