Apple faces a lawsuit in the United States over allegations of monopolistic practices in the smartphone market and stifling competition from competitors

The lawsuit was filed yesterday in the United States against the tech giant. The complaint alleges that Apple has unlawfully restricted competition in the market and limited opportunities for competitors. It is alleged that Apple has unfairly controlled the market by using its iconic product, the iPhone, and has limited opportunities for consumers. Complaints have been made against Apple for using its own apps on the iPhone in an unfair manner, while controlling similar apps made by other companies in the market. However, Apple has denied these allegations and stated that the company will fight this case ‘vigorously.’ It has been reported by the BBC that a lawsuit has been filed in a federal court in New Jersey, USA. It alleges that Apple has implemented certain rules on its smartphones that prevent other competitors from standing in the app market. This has created significant barriers to innovation. In a statement, US Attorney General Merrick Garland said, ‘Apple is controlling the market for various products and services in such a way that users are becoming overly dependent on the iPhone. Not only that, but consumers could also have access to many products and services at a lower cost if it were not for this.’ Apple’s spokesman Fred Sainz said, ‘This case is based on misinformation and law. Apple will aggressively contest it.’
