How's that supposed to work? Apple requires employees to own Apple products or have a personal account in the first place? That doesn't sound believable.
This may have been an optional iCloud 2TB promotion for employees, but still relevant to the lawsuit.
I'm also under the impression that Apple requires its employees to dogfood their products and services. Hoping someone with personal experience and a lapsed NDA can chime in.
Requiring them to make a (free) Apple account doesn’t sound unreasonable.
“Go to https://account.apple.com/ and make one that doesn’t use your Apple corporate email” seems like a fair and legal work instruction to me.
