Apple has been sued over the limits it imposes on its iCloud service and accusations of stifling its competitors. Apple, which has been in the news recently for various issues, is now facing backlash from users. The fact that the brand, which has shown stubborn behavior regarding changes, is being sued over a feature revolving around iCloud highlights user dissatisfaction.
The plaintiffs allege that Apple intentionally keeps iCloud's free storage space low to force users into making purchases, thereby generating continuous profit. Furthermore, Apple is facing accusations of hindering competition by imposing restrictions on other backup applications.
Some users commenting on the lawsuit point out that they can perform a full iPhone backup via iTunes or Finder on macOS. However, it is not possible to compare this method with other cloud services.
The law firm Hagens Berman is leading the lawsuit, and Apple has not yet made a statement regarding the matter. Apple's statements on the subject are awaited with interest as the process moves forward.
