Apple slams DOJ case as misguided attempt to turn iPhone into Android

Apple is strongly opposing the antitrust case filed against it by the Department of Justice (DOJ), claiming that the litigation is misguided and could harm the integrated mobile ecosystem that sets Apple apart. The lawsuit accuses Apple of being a monopolist in the "performance smartphones" and "US smartphones" markets. Apple argues that these market definitions are gerrymandering and that its global market share of around 20% is the only relevant measure. The company also accuses the Coalition for App Fairness, which includes Epic Games and Spotify, of driving the lawsuit to gain access to Apple's platform. Apple defends its App Store rules as protecting consumer interests and claims that the suit fails to consider the value consumers place on the Apple mobile experience. The company anticipates vigorously defending against the lawsuit.
