Apple is facing a proposed class action lawsuit, with plaintiffs alleging that the tech giant is monopolizing cloud storage through its iCloud service. The lawsuit claims that Apple restricts the storage of certain iPhone and iPad files exclusively to iCloud, thereby violating antitrust laws by driving up prices and limiting consumer choice. Specifically, the complaint focuses on iCloud's 5GB storage limit and the restrictions placed on iPhone backups, which purportedly coerce customers into using the iCloud service for storing and backing up certain restricted app data and device setting files. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in San Francisco, accusing Apple of unlawfully tying together two of its products and thereby creating an illegal monopoly that forces customers to pay artificially high prices for cloud storage.
