Britain’s competition tribunal has approved a £3 billion ($4 billion) lawsuit against Apple over its iCloud storage service, consumer group Which? said on Tuesday, clearing the way for tens of millions of consumers to join a collective action.
The Competition Appeal Tribunal granted earlier in June a collective proceedings order allowing Which? to represent Apple users, after rejecting an attempt by the U.S. tech giant to block parts of the case.
Which filed the claim in November 2024 and argues Apple abused a dominant position by “trapping” users of iPhones and other devices into its iCloud storage service, limiting their ability to switch to rival cloud providers.
