DOJ Sues Apple for Antitrust Violations

The lawsuit accuses Apple of stifling competition and innovation through its exclusive tech ecosystem.

The DOJ's lawsuit against Apple focuses on the company's control over its tech ecosystem, alleging it harms competition and innovation.
Apple defends its market practices, citing its significantly lower global market share compared to Microsoft's dominance in the 1990s.
The suit points to Apple's strict App Store control and limitations on third-party device interoperability as evidence of anti-competitive behavior.
Experts argue Apple's walled-off ecosystem has driven innovation, but the DOJ claims it locks customers into Apple's platforms.
The outcome of the lawsuit could set a precedent for government intervention in technology design and market competition.
