This is a stupid lawsuit. You can back up your phone locally using iTunes and Finder and the new device app on Windows. You can also back it up using third party software. No one is forcing you to use iCloud.
You get a free computer with purchase of an iPhone? Neat!
What’s a “computer”?
You get a free backup to the cloud with purchase of a computer? Neat!
You get a free external backup drive with the purchase of a computer? Neat!
Your computer allows you to backup native app data to other cloud drives? Neat!
Y’all realize that paying for a backup device has been a thing since the dawn of computing, right?
It doesn’t matter if the hard drive is in my house, or in a server farm. Someone is going to sell me the space.
I was just trying to point out that not everyone has a computer they can “just” backup to.
Seems the issue is what you can back up on the phone and where
I disagree. I want competition from groups like Backblaze where I can add my phone to my backblaze account and just have it backed up fully. That is what the class action is about. Apple doesn’t allow the competition with other groups because purchasing storage is just pure profit for them.

Many services depends on iCloud to work. Message sync and sharing Notes for instance. If your backups are taking up all your storage these things stop working right. It’s dumb.
Messages sync without being on iCloud backup.
