The US Justice Department and more than a dozen states have filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, accusing the company of monopolistic practices. The lawsuit claims that Apple’s restrictive app store terms, high fees, and control over hardware and software have harmed competition. Apple denies the allegations and says it will fight the lawsuit. The company’s practices include giving its own products better access and features than its competitors, slowing down multimedia texts to Android phones, and maintaining a large commission on sales through its app store. The lawsuit represents the Biden administration’s efforts to hold Big Tech companies accountable under antitrust law.
