TL;DR Summary

U.K. consumer rights group 'Which?' has filed a £3 billion ($3.8 billion) legal claim against Apple, alleging the company has violated competition laws by monopolizing the cloud storage market with its iCloud service. The lawsuit claims Apple unfairly locks users into iCloud by making it difficult to use alternative storage options and overcharges for its services. Apple denies these allegations, stating that users have choices and many use third-party storage. The case, funded by Litigation Capital Management, seeks compensation for affected users and aims to promote a more competitive market.
