Apple is facing a near-£3bn lawsuit over claims it breached competition law by effectively locking millions of UK consumers into its cloud storage service at “rip-off” prices.

    They are a TRILLION DOLLAR company. They aren’t flinching.

      They are not a trillion dollae revenue company, not to defend them but it would still hurt. Assuming 50% of the UK population is paying £2 a month for 1tb of storage that £70m a month which is £840m a year. The fine would be three and half years earnings on this product.

        Wait - you can get 1tb for £2 there?

        I wouldn’t mind as much if it was that price.

          Comparing the euro price is 2.99 for 1tb so I asumed the £ price would be rounded and lower.

            We only get 200 GiB for that price in the USA - I was surprised they offer so much more over there

              Lads ye get fucked every direction, I have family over there and they say things like how we dont get credit card points and other such oddities and random bits but we just have stricter regs on offerings and generally better value for money.
