According to news on March 22, on the 21st local time, the U.S. Department of Justice and the attorneys general of 16 states and territories jointly filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, accusing it of illegally monopolizing the smartphone market. Details can be found in previous reports.
The U.S. Department of Justice stated that its goal is to "free the smartphone market from Apple's anti-competitive and exclusionary behavior and restore healthy competition." However, Apple holds a different view. They believe that the purpose of the lawsuit is to turn the iPhone into an Android phone. . An Apple representative said that the Justice Department's lawsuit is essentially an attempt to make iPhones look and operate like Android devices, and that this move will actually harm competition. Apple argued that bringing more Android-like features to the iPhone would actually reduce consumer choice. Apple also tried to guide public opinion, saying that one of the iPhone's strengths is its privacy and security, and that if the Justice Department wins the case, Apple will have to make major concessions in this regard.
