Apple is once more involved in a class-action lawsuit, but this time, it is over iCloud and the limitation it places on users
Apple has always remained stingy when it came to giving users access to its free cloud storage through iCloud, and a few individuals likely grew tired of this business practice, which is why the company has been struck with a class-action lawsuit. The details state that the technology giant is ‘rigging the competitive playing field’ for cloud services by restricting the storage of certain iPhone and iPad files to its iCloud platform.
Additionally, Bloomberg Law reports that the firm’s measly 5GB of free iCloud storage space was also criticized, with revenue evidence showing that this amount is insufficient for users and they need to purchase additional plans to keep up with their requirements. Competitors like Google Drive offer 15GB for free tiers, making it a significantly better alternative.
“Apple has marked up its iCloud prices to the point where the service is generating almost pure profit. Apple’s ability to sustain these prices is a testament to its monopoly power.
