Apple Appeals DOJ's Antitrust Lawsuit
Apple is urging a federal judge to dismiss the Department of Justice's antitrust lawsuit, which accuses the tech giant of maintaining an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market. The DOJ argues that Apple's practices, including restricting third-party developers and degrading message quality with non-Apple devices, lock users into its ecosystem. Apple counters that the claims are speculative and do not demonstrate harm to consumers or developers, asserting that its policies are necessary to protect innovation. The hearing, presided over by U.S. District Judge Julien Neals, reflects a broader bipartisan effort to regulate Big Tech, with similar antitrust cases ongoing against companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon. Apple references past case dismissals, such as those involving Meta and Google, to support its stance that restricting access to its proprietary technology does not constitute anticompetitive behavior. The decision on whether the case will proceed to trial is expected by January.
