A U.S. judge has ruled that Apple must face a class-action lawsuit alleging it monopolizes the digital storage market, causing consumers to overpay for its iCloud service. U.S. District Judge Eumi Lee stated the plaintiffs presented new allegations that Apple's practices violate antitrust laws, requiring users to back up essential data exclusively on iCloud. The lawsuit could impact tens of millions of consumers using iCloud storage plans. Apple denies wrongdoing and calls for claims dismissal.
