Apple Defeats Lawsuit Related to iCloud's Measly 5GB of Free Storage

Quick Summary:

Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit this week upheld a lower court's dismissal of a lawsuit alleging that Apple illegally deceived customers into paying for iCloud storage, according to a court filing.

The lawsuit alleged that Apple deceived customers into purchasing iCloud-enabled devices by misleading customers into believing that they can easily keep their iCloud storage usage below the free 5GB limit.

In reality, the plaintiffs alleged that users quickly exceed this limit and then must pay for increasingly costly iCloud storage plans.In the U.S., these plans range from 50GB for $0.99 per month to 12TB for $59.99 per month.
