Apple Wins Appeal Over iCloud Storage Capacity Claims
A court case against Apple said they didn't give customers the amount of iCloud storage they paid for.
One customer, Lisa Bodenburg, thought she should get extra storage on top of what she already had.
The court said Apple kept its promises, offering extra storage as advertised.
The court's decision means Apple did not mislead customers about the storage space in its iCloud plans.
The judges said Apple provided the amount of storage space that was promised.
They found that consumers weren't tricked by Apple's explanation of its storage plans.
A U.S. appeals court rejected claims against Apple regarding iCloud storage.
Customers alleged Apple provided less storage than promised in iCloud plans.
The court ruled reasonable consumers wouldn't be misled by Apple's storage capacity claims.
The plaintiff believed she was shortchanged on the storage space she had paid for.
The court cited Apple providing 'incremental' or 'supplemental' storage as promised.
