Apple has been subject to several class-action lawsuits over the past 2-3 years. In fact, he lost these cases and paid a total of $1 billion in fines to his customers. The company, which was previously sued for iPhone, is now sued for iCloud.
Apple was sued because 5GB of free space was not enough when iCloud was introduced
Technology giant Apple is accused of increasing its profitability by inflating the prices of its iCloud service. The lawsuit alleges that Apple is manipulating the competitive landscape by only allowing iCloud to manage device backups and other storage needs.
Apple offers 5 GB of free iCloud storage to its users, but many users think that this space does not meet their storage needs and purchase an additional iCloud storage plan. It is known that iCloud’s free level has remained at 5 GB and has not changed since it was introduced by Steve Jobs at WWDC 2011.
A significant part of the case centers on the fact that iPhone users only have one option for full device backups, and that option is Apple’s own iCloud service.
The fact that iCloud only offers 5 GB for free is also one of the focal points of the case. Apple asks mobile device owners to use iCloud to back up certain types of files (specifically, data related to device settings and apps). For other file types (for example, photos and videos), Apple mobile device owners can choose from other cloud-based storage providers.
The name of the canceled Apple Car was very meaningful
The internal name of the Apple Car project, which was canceled after a 10 billion dollar investment, was very meaningful. Here are the details!
The lawsuit states that Apple is preventing rival cloud platforms from offering a full-service cloud solution that could effectively compete with iCloud. Apple’s free iCloud limits storage to 5GB. Many people also have to buy more storage space to back up their devices. Apple’s restrictions eliminate this option, forcing Apple device owners to use iCloud for cloud storage.
Discussions about Apple’s iCloud service and pricing policies continue. The lead plaintiff, represented by the law firm Hagens Berman, is the same law firm behind a number of separate class actions against Apple.
