Apple was not able to narrow the scope of a UK lawsuit accusing it of locking 40 million UK consumers into iCloud, to the detriment of third-party cloud storage providers. British consumer group Which? first filed the lawsuit in late 2024, and is asking for £3 billion for UK Apple customers. Apple wanted to exclude non-paying iCloud users from the lawsuit, but the tribunal denied Apple's request in a 2 to 1 majority.
All that would be true IF they actually have to pay the money. A lot of the time it just gets stalled, thrown out or pardoned.
I don’t know about that, sure there are appeals it would only make sense but I doubt they are being pardoned in any great amount.
Appeals often mean paying first also.
