Apple is facing a £3 billion ($3.8 billion) legal claim in the UK over allegations that it has breached competition law by forcing customers to use its iCloud service at 'exorbitant' prices. The lawsuit, launched by consumer rights group Which? on November 14, accuses Apple of trapping approximately 40 million UK customers into using its iCloud storage services and ripping them off with high fees. The case alleges that Apple's practices constitute an unlawful iCloud monopoly, limiting customers' ability to choose alternative cloud storage options. If successful, the lawsuit could result in compensation for millions of UK Apple users.
