Apple Hit With $3.75 Billion iCloud Anti-Competitive Lawsuit On Behalf Of 40 Million Brits

Update, Nov. 14, 2024: This story, originally published Nov. 14, now includes a comment from a security professional regarding Apple iCloud security protections.
The Apple ecosystem has always been something of a contentious issue. It’s what attracts many users in the first place, with promises of ease of use and a secure environment in which to work and play, but it also locks them in once they are there. Take the use of iCloud, which Apple has said users are not required to use and it works to “make data transfer as easy as possible,” for users. With free storage on offer up to 5GB, anything more costs money depending on the amount of storage space required. Given that iCloud is used to store everything from documents to photos and video from an iPhone, for example, the basic 5GB is soon eaten up by the average iOS user. This is the basis of the legal action which could see Apple on the hook for $3.75 billion (£3 billion) in reparations.
