Man Sues Apple Over iOS 7 Because He Hates It That Much

Pretty funny article if you ask me. Kind of a "face palm" moment for how society is changing though. People really like to pick on Apple, don't they?

LMAO!!!!!! Seriously he's wasting his money... OMG!!! I'm done.

Maybe Apple will counter sue him for being an *****

He is suing Apple, not for hating iOS7, but for the space the (mandatory!) download takes on his device.
And I do understand his point. If you have an iDevice with limited storage (read: 8GB) every MB counts.

crazy world we live in...

It won't hold up as having a device that low in size.. HE does have the option to upgrade to a bigger size... lol

I think it would be a whole lot cheaper than trying to sue Apple.

I just re-read the article. For one, the title itself states he is suing apple over IOS 7 because he hates it so much. Secondly, the only quote from the guy himself is that he is pissed off that he lost his choice. BUT, he has not even been forced to download the file. He is crying because he is 'forced to see the prompt to download ios 7' every time he restarts his phone lol. If he clicked on that prompt, it is his own fault. It doesn't even say that he has an 8GB phone but if he does, then it was not one of the new releases that came with IOS 7 already installed....thus eliminating his 'choice'.

That's it!! I am starting a class action lawsuit against Apple because I happen to love oranges and I am completely appalled that I am FORCED to see the picture of an Apple every time I restart my phone!!

Yes, the article's (and this thread's) title is misleading. Apple is pushing the iOS 7 upgrade to every capable phone the moment it has a chance - once the phone is plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi. The iOS 7 installer is some 3GB in size.
Now just because your iPhone is capable of the upgrade, some users may be perfectly happy with how they use their earlier OS and/or are concerned as to how well their older device may react to the upgrade. While I have had few issues with iOS 7 on my iPhone 4, I am also reading of those with less success or satisfaction as a result. Its your phone - make it work for you.

But to force push software to users that is undeletable until installed is simply not on. Its bad enough Apple pushes iOS embedded apps that are 'fluff' or poorly realized, but to demand an entire OS change? No computer company dares try that with their devices, why should it be acceptable in a device with even less storage or user-defined capabilities?

Go for it, say I.

No, he is not forced to download. The phone is forced to download the new iOS. The end user has no choice.
The iOS installer occupies between 2 and 3 GB on your phone if you do not want to upgrade and there is no way to remove it.

Believe it or not, some people prefer to keep iOS6. Some for a jailbreak, some just prefer the old looks.

It doesn't download the software until you tell it too, no? My wife's 4S is getting a notification, but she doesn't have enough space to install it. I fail to see his argument if what I say is true.

I'm with ya completely on wanting to preserve iOS 6 for jailbreak reasons, or even personal preference. But the mandatory installer part throws me. My wife's phone shows iOS 7 is available for download but nothing is forcing her.

The installer checks if there is enough space. If there is not, the automatic download does not start.

Well, as far as I know the installer download is simply pushed to your device if it meets the criteria. This is what happens:

Lmao
Just give him a chance maybe he has a point of it xD

funny people funny life,don't mess with the big one??/

 

[Coachbulldog]

This is exactly the type of nonsense that could end up being a media frenzy. I can see and hear it now....."Next on NBC Nightly News; a California man is standing up for consumers as corporate America continues to take away more and more choices."

 

[Lamont Raccoon]

He's really not forced to update tho, I know ALOT of people who choose not to update their devices. So his lawsuit is still funny on the grounds that no matter how you spin it. It looks and sounds silly. :/
