On Thursday, US Attorney General Merrick Garland and other Justice Department officials briefed reporters on their intention to pursue an antitrust action against Apple.
The Justice Department and 16 attorneys general filed the highly anticipated lawsuit on Thursday, charging that Apple’s iPhone ecosystem constitutes a monopoly and that its anti-competitive activities extend to the company’s Apple Watch, advertising, browser, FaceTime, and news services.
