Apple is facing a lawsuit for not telling users about the amount of memory required by its flagship operating system.
The legal complaint revolves around iOS 8 and the amount of memory it reserves for itself on iPods, iPhones and iPads.
The complaint alleges that it takes up so much space that far less than advertised is left for people to store their own data.
Apple has yet to issue any official comment on the lawsuit.
Update upset
The complaint has been filed in California by Miami residents Paul Orshan and Christopher Endara who say that iOS 8 can occupy up to 23.1% of the memory available on some Apple devices.

What is the OS percentage for Android devices? I would think it would take up a decent amount on lower-memory devices as well.
It is what it is.

And bleeping well about time too...absolutely scandalous the rip off that Apple perpatrate like this. But to be fair to them most of the other OSs do something similiar as I have noticed with WIndows Phone, etc.
