Apple Faces £3 Billion UK Lawsuit Over iCloud Practices

Consumer group Which? accuses Apple of monopolistic behavior by restricting iCloud alternatives and overcharging for storage.

Which? has filed a legal claim against Apple, alleging the company locks UK customers into its iCloud service and charges excessive prices.
The lawsuit seeks nearly £3 billion in damages, potentially providing a £70 payout for each of the 40 million affected UK Apple users.
Which? argues that Apple's practices breach competition law by making it difficult for users to switch to other cloud services.
Apple denies the allegations, stating its iCloud pricing is competitive and that nearly half of its users do not pay for additional iCloud storage.
The legal action follows previous scrutiny of Apple's competitive practices, including a lawsuit by the US DOJ and fines from the European Union.
