Confusingly-named U.K. consumer-protection group “Which?” has filed a 3 billion-pound ($3.82 billion) lawsuit against Apple, claiming the company breached UK competition rules with its iCloud storage service. “Which?” claims that Apple abuses its dominance by pushing users towards iCloud storage of data such as photos and messages without letting them back up their data with a competing provider. “Which?” claims Apple favors its own iCloud software over rivals’ offerings. Edith Hancock for The Wall Street Journal:
MacDailyNews Take: macOS and iOS devices support third-party online storage services (for example: Box, Dropbox, and Microsoft One Drive). Apple’s Files app for iOS also supports third-party services including, for example, Box, Dropbox, and Microsoft One Drive. Users can also easily create their own private cloud storage system, bypassing the need for iCloud or third-party online storage services altogether.We are currently about 1/4th of the way to being sustainable with Substack subscriptions.
