Apple Sued Over Automatic iOS 7 Update Downloads

A California man has sued Apple over the automatic downloading of the iOS 7 update onto his and his familys iOS devices. He claims that his devices are downloading the iOS 7 update automatically without his permission, and while the update doesnt install automatically, the download takes up several gigabytes of space on his devices.

The man filed a small-claims complaint against Apple CEO Tim Cook in the Superior Court of California in San Diego, asking that the iOS 7 install file be removed. We first heard about this issue last month, when several iOS 6 users reported that once they connected their devices to WiFi and a power source, iOS 7 would download the update file to users iOS devices, taking up at least a gigabyte of space.

The update file doesnt install automatically, but for those that count on precious space on their mobile devices, its not something that you want to deal with particular. However, despite all of the complaints, one man is taking matters into his own hands and will be taking Apple to court.
