Apple faces lawsuit in U.K. over alleged iCloud monopoly, TechCrunch says

U.K. consumer rights group ‘Which?” is filing a legal claim against Apple (AAPL), alleging the company has broken competition rules by giving its own cloud storage service preferential treatment and locking people into pay for iCloud at “rip-off” prices, Natasha Lomas of TechCrunch reports. The lawsuit is seeking EUR 3B in compensation damages. Additionally, the lawsuit accuses Apple of encouraging users to sign up for its iCloud storage while also making it difficult for consumers to use alternative storage providers.
