Apple is facing a potential class-action lawsuit over allegations of monopolizing digital storage services for its customers. The lawsuit, filed in the Northern District of California on Friday, accuses Apple of imposing restrictive measures that effectively confine customers to using its iCloud storage system. Plaintiffs claim that iCloud is the exclusive platform capable of hosting specific data from Apple devices, such as application data and device settings. This alleged practice has been described as 'unlawfully tying' Apple devices to iCloud services. Moreover, the lawsuit contends that Apple's restrictions on hosting certain types of files create an unfair advantage for iCloud, distorting the competitive landscape and hindering potential rivals from offering comprehensive cloud storage solutions to Apple device users.
