US Justice Department files antitrust lawsuit against Apple. Indictment accuses Apple of suppressing competition and charging consumers excessive prices.
Apple rejects allegations as factually incorrect and has denied the allegations. The company emphasized that the lawsuit threatens principles that make Apple products outstanding in a highly competitive market. Apple has just had to restructure its EU business in some fundamental ways because of the new DMA digital law. The EU Commission recently imposed a fine of 1.84 billion euros after a complaint from Spotify. Of these, 1.8 billion were intended for “deterrence,” it was said.
