The lawsuit alleges that Apple illegally thwarted competitors.
An Apple corporate logo hangs above the front door of their store in the Garden State Plaza Mall on Nov. 4, 2023, in Paramus, N.J.The Biden administration sued Apple on Thursday, alleging the tech giant created a monopoly in the smartphone market by blocking competitors from accessing hardware and software features of the iPhone.
"We allege that Apple has maintained monopoly power in the smartphone market, not simply by staying ahead of the competition on the merits, but by violating federal antitrust law," Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. "If left unchallenged, Apple will only continue to strengthen its smartphone monopoly."
"At Apple, we innovate every day to make technology people love -- designing products that work seamlessly together, protect people’s privacy and security, and create a magical experience for our users," the company said. "This lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart in fiercely competitive markets."
