A federal judge in California, USA, has ordered Apple to respond to an antitrust lawsuit pertaining to its iCloud services. The plaintiffs in this case assert that Apple is coercively bundling iCloud storage services, allegedly engaging in illegal monopolistic practices within the digital storage market, thereby compelling consumers to pay higher prices. The court denied Apple's motion to dismiss, maintaining that its actions could potentially constitute an "exclusive agreement." Should Apple lose this lawsuit, it might be compelled to revise its iCloud strategy, including enhancing the free storage offering and opening backup interfaces to third-party providers, in an effort to bolster market competition. This case has ignited vigorous debates within the technology industry regarding platform bundling practices.
