- The US Department of Justice sued Apple in March 2024, accusing it of having a 'smartphone monopoly.'
- Apple has officially responded to the DOJ’s antitrust complaint, rejecting the allegations.
- The DOJ’s lawsuit focuses on five aspects: super apps, cloud streaming games, third-party messaging apps, smartwatches, and digital wallets.
- Apple argues the DOJ 'fundamentally misunderstands' these areas and defends its design choices as pro-consumer.
- Apple claims the lawsuit could reduce consumer choice, erode competition, and set a dangerous precedent.
- The case will now proceed to the discovery phase.
