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。

The contention, according to a piece from mac rumors, is that apple locks millions of its customers out of its high cloud service and charges them rip off Prices. We're locking them out.

And I understand mac rumors run through what apple offers. Users get five kick bite of free stories to back up photos, messages and other content. Apple says that apparently enough for close to half of its customers hit that five gigabit limit, though, and users are encouraged to pay for more storage.

Rain, the U. K, range from nineteen nine pants a month for fifty and bites of space to fifty four, ninety nine amount for twelve terabits, according to the report. The way which sees that apple makes IT hard for users to use other cloud storage providers, this IT does by giving its eyes cloud door service preferential treatment and trapping customers with apple devices into using eyes cloud.

Needless to say, apple does not agree. According to market rumors, apple said IT works hard to make data transfer as easy as possible and that nearly fifty percent of its customers do not need nor pay for a night cloud plus subscription and added that its surprising ing was in line with out of other cloud storage providers. The coubertin company says that will vigorously defend against standing legal claim that the whole eye cloud thing is anti I competitive.

Wood says IT would rather not go to the hassle of any legal proceedings anyway. Tell you what, how about apple resolves this claim without the need for litigation by offering consumers their money back and opening up I O, S. To allow users a real choice for cloud services?

After two years of use, the local apple store replace them, and the new pair are still fine a year later. Given that apple is replacing them even out of warranty, why a lawsuit is necessary seems questionable. See that honestly about what I would expect and why I wondered whether a law you was warranted.

Thing is, I also got an email from Scott who said I had a pair of those crackling airports. Pro, yes, I will replace them for me. Two days later, the battery and one of them was dead.

I went back to the store. I was told the battery problem was not covered under warm because my original purchase date was over a year earlier. After a bit discussion, the manager agreed to replace the bad area pod this one time.

He said that apple policy was that once the crackling airport d prs replaced, no further free service was very about so maybe that is part of the reason for the class action lawsuit.
