Apple iCloud Antitrust Lawsuit (Gamboa v. Apple Inc.)
Potential future claim for alleged Apple iCloud storage overcharges.
Description
A class action lawsuit (Felix Gamboa v. Apple Inc., 5:24-cv-01270, N.D. Cal.) alleges that Apple unlawfully monopolizes cloud storage on its devices by restricting competing services from backing up most iPhone and iPad data, forcing consumers to overpay for iCloud+ subscriptions. On June 16, 2025, Judge Eumi K. Lee denied Apple's motion to dismiss, finding plaintiffs plausibly alleged Apple holds a 96.1% share of cloud storage revenue on Apple devices and that its restrictions are 'coercive.'
