Apple SUED over alleged iPhone monopoly in the U.S., accused of ‘suppressing’ alternative messaging apps, smartwatches, cloud games

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) alongside 16 State/District Attorneys General has sued Apple today for violating federal antitrust laws (the famed Sherman Act of 1890).

The tech giant, one of the world’s most valuable companies and an astonishing story of succeeding from the brink of failure following Windows’ dominance of the early PC era, is accused of having “willfully monopolized the performance smartphone market in the United States through an exclusionary course of conduct and the anticompetitive acts.”
