Apple slams DOJ lawsuit: ’threatens the very principles that set iPhone apart’
UNITED STATES, JUL 30 – Apple rejects DOJ allegations of monopoly, defending design decisions that support competition in five key iPhone features, as the antitrust case enters discovery phase.
- In early 2024, the US Department of Justice initiated an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, claiming the company maintains an illegal monopoly over the smartphone market through its restrictive iPhone policies.
- The lawsuit targets five major areas, including limitations on third-party access to iPhone features like NFC, cloud game streaming, and third-party apps, claiming Apple stifles competition.
- Apple responded by denying monopoly power, highlighting its competitive market position and arguing that its careful design choices optimize user experience and security without harming consumers.
- Apple emphasized that iOS 17.4 enables cloud game streaming and iOS 18.1 opened NFC access to third-party developers, while the company warned the lawsuit could set a "dangerous precedent" for technology design.
- The case is moving into the stage in which both parties must collect and present evidence, and the final decision could influence consumer options, market competition, and government regulation of technology development.
