I read this article, because it's absurd to make a class action lawsuit about the free tier remaining at only 5GB. Apple has the right to give as much or little away for free.

Instead, the lawsuit is about something a lot more lawsuit worthy: The fact that you cannot backup your iPhone with other cloud service providers, providing an unfair advantage to iCloud. This should definitely be illegal.

Additionally, can we have a lawsuit over excessive storage markups (that are over ~2x the gross margin of the device)? This is also basically pure profit.

Did they previously offer more for free then drop it? I only have a single IPad that's intentionally not cloud synced just because I'd rather host things local, so I'm not in a place to judge average use, but even my Google account has less than 5GB in it.
