The U.S. is suing Apple for allegedly using its power to suppress competition from rivals and limiting consumer choice in the smartphone sector. The landmark lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice accuses Apple of imposing contractual limitations on developers while making it more difficult for users to switch devices. It also accuses Apple of abusing its power to squash the growth of innovative apps and messaging services, reduce the appeal of rival smartwatches, keep rival tap-and-pay apps from its devices and block the development of game streaming apps. According to U.S. attorney-general Merrick Garland, “Apple has maintained its power not because of its superiority but because of its unlawful exclusionary behavior.”
