Which? Sues Apple for £3 Billion Over iCloud Monopoly Affecting 40 Million UK Customers
Nov 14, 2024, 09:43 AM
Apple Inc. is facing a £3 billion ($3.8 billion) lawsuit in the United Kingdom filed by consumer rights group Which?. The legal claim alleges that Apple breached competition law by forcing approximately 40 million UK customers to use its iCloud storage service at 'rip-off' or exorbitant prices. It contends that Apple locked users into iCloud by making it difficult to choose alternative cloud storage options, effectively creating an unlawful monopoly and engaging in anti-competitive practices. If successful, the lawsuit could result in payouts of up to £70 per customer for millions of Apple customers in the UK.
