Another lawsuit alleging that Apple uses its monopoly powers to force users to pay more for iCloud storage has been dismissed.
Apple won a ruling dismissing a lawsuit that accused the iPhone maker of illegally monopolizing the market for digital storage, causing consumers to pay more for its iCloud service.
In the latest wave of scams targeting Apple customers, iPhone users receive a text instructing them to authorize a payment or contact a fraudulent support line if it is not authorized, lest they be debited the amount charged.
Apple told TechRepublic it is “gravely disappointed” to remove Advanced Data Protection in the U.K., as it fights government demands for an iCloud backdoor.
Apple users in the United Kingdom will no longer have access to a key data security feature for iCloud storage: Advanced Data Protection. It’s a relatively small change, but privacy experts worry it could have ripple effects for data privacy around the world.
Apple has called a secret UK order to let the government see protected iCloud files an “unlawful intrusion.” The iPhone maker has sent an appeal to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal by UK intelligence services and authorities.
