Apple counters, denies all accusations made by DOJ in response to anti-monopoly legal action

Apple plans to vehemently oppose the US DOJ in the anti-monopoly legal case. Apple has chosen to deny all accusations made by the DOJ in the lawsuit and stated that it has never obstructed rival applications and services or employed anti-competitive strategies within its network.

Apple has strongly rejected the accusations of monopolistic practices brought against it by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The technology giant insists that it has not obstructed rival applications and services or used unfair strategies within its operating system, often known as the "walled garden."

Responding to allegations from the DOJ, Apple underlined its dedication to ensuring user privacy and security. It clarified that any constraints placed on app developers' access to APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are purposely done to protect these aspects. Likewise, any limitations on third-party digital wallets are deemed necessary to secure user information.

Regarding worries about dominating the software application industry, Apple made it clear that it doesn't hinder the existence of "super apps" on its platforms, pointing out apps like Facebook, WeChat, and Line that are accessible to iOS users. The firm also stressed its receptiveness to game streaming services in the App Store.

Apple clarified that the increased synergy between the Apple Watch and the iPhone is due to practical factors like the complexity of development rather than any intention to stifle competition.

Apple responded to accusations that it prevents customers from migrating to rival products by emphasizing the simplicity of moving data from iPhone to Android devices. They suggested that the choices of users are more likely influenced by their personal preferences than any deliberate obstacles.

Apple had earlier cautioned that the lawsuit might set a worrisome example, giving the government excessive control over technology design. The firm continues to stand firm in its resolve to strenuously refute the accusations.

Alternatively, US Attorney General Merrick Garland argued that Apple's methods hinder possible advancements that could lessen user reliance on the iPhone, thereby suppressing competition and creativity in the marketplace.
