UK tribunal gives go ahead for $4 billion lawsuit against Apple over iCloud services

LONDON: Britain’s competition tribunal has approved a £3 billion ($4 billion) lawsuit against Apple over its iCloud storage ‌service, consumer ⁠group Which? said ⁠on Tuesday, clearing the way for tens of millions of consumers to join a collective action.

The Competition Appeal Tribunal granted earlier in June a collective proceedings order allowing Which? to represent Apple users, after rejecting an attempt by the U.S. tech giant to block parts of the case.
