Millions in UK could claim share of £3bn after Apple case given green light.
A class action lawsuit which could entitle millions in the UK to a share of a £3bn claim against Apple is set to proceed to trial.
Consumer group Which? has accused the tech giant of "trapping" users into its cloud service. It says 40 million iCloud customers could be entitled to roughly £77 each if successful.
Consumers who used iCloud between November 2018 and June 2026 and were living in the UK on 8 June will be included in the claim unless they opt out.
Apple has previously called the claims unfounded, saying no customer is required to use the iCloud service, with "plenty of alternatives to chose from".
