Apple sued by the US Department of Justice

(Boursier.com) — Apple stumbles on Wall Street this Thursday, while the American Department of Justice formalized an antitrust trial against the Cupertino giant, accusing it of having established an illegal monopoly in smartphones in the United States, affecting competition and ‘innovation. The Department highlights Apple’s practices regarding the iPhone. The DoJ finds the group’s conduct illegal. He believes the California group used its market power to get more money from consumers, developers, content creators, publishers, artists, small businesses and merchants. The group would have in fact established a walled garden around its flagship products and in particular the iPhone. This is the Biden administration’s first major antitrust offensive against the Apple group.
