The suit alleges Apple forces employees to give up their personal privacy rights and surveils them through iCloud accounts and non-work devices.

For instance, according to the suit, Apple requires that employees only use Apple-made devices for work. Because Apple puts restrictions on the devices it owns, most employees end up using their own Apple devices, according to the suit.
When using their own devices, they’re required to use their personal iCloud accounts and must agree to using software that gives the company the ability to see virtually anything happening on that device, including its real-time location
Use separate devices. Having complete control over devices that touch sensitive corporate data isn’t some Apple specific policy.
That’s what the suit is about.
the suit says the company “actively discourages” work-only iCloud accounts.
We’ll see what they dig up.
