As expected, USA's Department of Justice have filed an antitrust lawsuit against #Apple due their dominance and hardware/software policies.
While it might be confusing reading "monopoly over your own hardware/software with YOU as ONLY vendor", the argument of the DOJ is that Apple has been restricting access to hardware and software features of its iPhone and using its control over the App Store to limit competition.
For years (and not counting Epic Games and Spotify) has been at odds with their apps development community with their restrictive policies, including compensation versus return of developers via fees.
Of course Apple have defended their practices and this lawsuit will not be the exception, regardless is the first time the USA wants to interfere on Apple's business.
Apple's rationale has been that all their policies have the best interests of its customers and that its practices are designed to ensure the security and reliability of its products and also, that if DOJ prevails, it will set a dangerous precedent that would empower government to interfere in design for people.
Finally, Apple will prove the lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law & will vigorously defend against it.
