An Apple user, a resident of Poway, California, got so upset with the constant updates from the company that he filed a lawsuit against CEO Tim Cook for the iOS7 install prompts he gets every time he restarts the device.
Apple rolled out its much-awaited mobile OS update, iOS7, to wow users with the new design and several unique features. To users' disappointment, the latest OS did not come up to expectations. However, the Cuppertino-based tech firm rolled out updates for its iOS7 to appease its fan-base. Several users took to social networks, Apple forums and blogs to express their concern about the new mobile operating system.
Mark Menacher filed a complaint against Apple CEO Tim Cook because of the iOS7 install prompts every time he restarted the device. He is seeking the removal of the installer file, which automatically gets downloaded on an iPhone and iPad when connected and prompts users to install the updated OS every time they restart the device. In addition to getting rid of the install file, Menachar is seeking $50 compensation.
"Apple's disregard for customer preferences in relation to iOS7 is corporate thuggery," Menacher said in a statement, according to CNET. "Steve Jobs was reportedly rough on company employees in pursuit of happy customers, but Tim Cook apparently cultivates a culture of contempt for customer satisfaction in pursuit of corporate profits. It is a policy that will eventually fail."
Menacher is also exploring his options to take the case to a higher court from his the Superior Court of California in San Diego filed on Thursday and if possible to file a class action lawsuit against the company.
Apple did not comment on the complaint filed by Menacher.
The iOS7 is the biggest change to the operating system for all Apple devices since 2007. Despite several complaints, Apple has recorded maximum adaption rate for its latest operating system. Mixpanel notes that more than 73 percent of all Apple devices now run on the iOS7, while a small 23 percent is still using the iOS6 and the rest 3 percent devices have older operating systems as of Tuesday, October 22, 2013.
