The US Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against Apple, accusing the tech giant of illegally monopolizing the smartphone market. The 88-page suit alleges that Apple has employed unfair tactics to solidify its market position and stifle innovation, such as blocking 'Super Apps,' imposing bans on cloud streaming services, degrading cross-platform messaging app experiences, and restricting the compatibility of non-Apple smartwatches with its phones. This legal action follows Apple's reevaluation of its policies in the European Union, prompted by the bloc's Digital Markets Act. Apple has faced similar regulatory scrutiny in the EU, which resulted in requirements for the company to open up to third-party app stores and enable developers to access certain device functionalities. The lawsuit reflects the ongoing global debate on tech companies' market dominance and the implications for competition and consumer choice.
