iOS 7: Apple Sued Over Unwanted Download
Apple chief executive Tim Cook is being sued by a customer irritated by unwanted downloads of iOS 7 software on his family's gadgets.
The file automatically downloads itself to devices when they are connected to power and a wi-fi connection.
Mr Menacher, from Poway, California, wants the large file removed so he can use the space for other apps and content, tech site CNET reports.
In his court papers, he wrote: "Apple's disregard for customer preferences in relation to iOS 7 is corporate thuggery.
"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."
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment when contacted by Sky News.
Mr Menacher's complaint asks for a way to get rid of the downloaded file and $50 (£33) compensation.
He told CNET he is thinking about elevating the issue to a higher court.
Apple says iOS 7 is the most significant iOS update since the original iPhone, and has seen the fastest adoption of any version of the software.
