A class action lawsuit accusing Apple of overcharging U.K. iCloud users has been certified to proceed, putting the £3 billion ($3.9 billion) claim on track for a trial in October 2028. The Competition Appeal Tribunal cleared consumer group Which? to bring the case on behalf of an estimated 40 million U.K. iPhone and iPad owners, each of whom could receive up to £77 if the claim succeeds. Which? alleges that Apple has locked customers into iCloud since 2015 by limiting how rival cloud services work on its devices, and then charged inflated subscription prices as a result. Apple has called the claims unfounded and plans to appeal the tribunal's decision.
