Here's what the DOJ suit could mean for Apple Watch
TechCrunch
·

Medial
Apple is facing a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice and 16 states for alleged antitrust practices. The lawsuit focuses on Apple's iPhone and controversial practices such as its walled-off app sales approach. The Apple Watch is also mentioned in the filing, noting that it is only compatible with iPhones, making it costly for users to switch to Android. The lawsuit claims that cross-platform smartwatches can reduce iPhone users' dependence on Apple's proprietary hardware and software. Opening up Apple Watch functionality could potentially impact iPhone sales and allow Android users to access the device.

Apple's iPhone is not a monopoly like Windows was a monopoly

The U.S. Department of Justice, along with attorneys general from 16 states and the District of Columbia, has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple. The suit alleges that Apple has a monopoly in the premium smartphone market and uses illegal tactics to maintain its dominance. While there are parallels to the DOJ's antitrust case against Microsoft in the 1990s, Apple's monopoly position is not as clear-cut. The DOJ argues that Apple's market share, especially in the U.S., along with barriers to entry, demonstrate its monopoly power. However, Apple could argue that its differentiation and integration are not barriers to competition.

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.

How an artificial tooth monopoly put the DOJ’s blockbuster Apple antitrust suit in New Jersey

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against Apple in the state of New Jersey, possibly due to the state's favourable history in antitrust cases. In 2004, the DOJ successfully sued dental supply company Dentsply in the Third Circuit, which includes New Jersey, for maintaining a monopoly in the artificial teeth industry. The DOJ may believe that the legal precedent set in that case will be beneficial in its current antitrust lawsuit against Apple. Additionally, New Jersey is home to Samsung's US headquarters, which is mentioned in the lawsuit as a meaningful competitor to Apple in the smartphone market.
