CHANHASSEN, Minn., Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Analytics, the Class Action Administrator for the Apple iOS 8 Litigation, announces the following:
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.
TO EXCLUDE YOURSELF FROM THE CASE, YOU MUST TAKE ACTION BY DECEMBER 29, 2025.
Who is Included? The Class includes individuals who purchased a new 16 GB iPhone or iPad in California, with iOS 8 preinstalled, between September 17, 2014 and September 30, 2016.
What is this lawsuit about? The name of the lawsuit is Orshan et al. v. Apple Inc., and it is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (Case No. 5:14-cv-05659-EJD). In the lawsuit, Plaintiffs claim that Apple sold 16 GB iPhones and iPads with a preinstalled operating system, iOS 8, which occupied approximately 3 GB of their device's 16 GB storage capacity. Plaintiffs allege that Apple's advertising led consumers to believe they would have all 16 GB of storage capacity for their personal use. You can read Plaintiffs' operative Complaint here: www.AppleiOS8Litigation.com. Apple denies that it did anything improper or unlawful, and Apple has asserted numerous defenses to the claims in this case.
What is happening in the lawsuit now? On September 30, 2024, the Court allowed this case to proceed as a class action involving purchasers of new 16GB iPhones or iPads in California, with iOS 8 preinstalled, who purchased their devices between September 17, 2014 and September 30, 2016. The Court has not decided whether Apple or Plaintiffs are correct. By certifying the class and allowing this case to proceed as a class action and issuing this Notice, the Court is not suggesting whether Plaintiffs will win or lose this case. Plaintiffs must prove their claims at a trial or through a pretrial motion. A trial date has not yet been set.
Who represents the Class? The Court has appointed the law firms below to represent the Class. You may contact these attorneys if you have questions about this notice or about this case. You don't have to pay Class Counsel to participate. You may hire your own lawyer to appear in Court for you, but if you do, you have to pay for that lawyer.
