Ken Ray介绍了英国消费者团体Which?对苹果提起的诉讼，指出苹果公司涉嫌利用其市场地位，将用户锁定在iCloud服务中，并收取高额费用。Which?认为苹果的做法限制了用户选择其他云存储服务商的权利，构成反竞争行为。听众Robert和Scott分别表达了对AirPods Pro质量问题的不同看法，Robert认为苹果在保修期外的免费更换服务值得肯定，而Scott则指出更换后的AirPods Pro电池问题不在保修范围内，这可能是导致集体诉讼的原因之一。 Robert认为苹果公司为AirPods Pro提供的保修期外更换服务已经足够，因此对诉讼的必要性提出了质疑。他认为苹果公司在产品出现问题后的积极处理态度值得肯定。 Scott则认为，虽然苹果公司为出现问题的AirPods Pro提供了更换服务，但更换后的产品如果出现电池问题，苹果公司并不提供保修。他认为这是一种不公平的做法，也是导致集体诉讼的原因之一。
