Apple retaliates and denies all allegations made by the DOJ in reply to antitrust litigation

Apple plans to strenuously resist the US Department of Justice in the antitrust litigation. Apple has resolved to deny all allegations presented by the Department of Justice in the legal case. It has stated that it has never obstructed rival apps and services or employed unfair competitive strategies in its own network.

Apple has resolutely rejected claims of monopolistic practices in response to the antitrust lawsuit launched by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The tech giant maintains that it has never hindered rival apps or services or employed unfair practices within its proprietary environment, often known as the "walled garden."

In response to the allegations made by the DOJ, Apple highlighted its dedication to maintaining the privacy and security of its users. The company explained that any restrictions placed on app developers' use of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are carefully enforced for this purpose. Likewise, the rules limiting access to third-party digital wallets are necessary in order to protect user information.

Regarding worries about dominating the software application industry, Apple made it clear that it does not hinder the existence of "super apps" on its platforms, pointing out examples such as Facebook, WeChat, and Line that are accessible to iOS users. The firm also underscored its receptiveness to game streaming services available on the App Store.

Apple clarified that the close connection between the Apple Watch and the iPhone is due to practical reasons such as the complexity of development, not because of any intent to stifle competition.

In response to accusations that it prevents users from migrating to rival products, Apple emphasized the simplicity of moving data from iPhone to Android devices. They implied that customer preference, not deliberate obstructions, might shape user decisions.

Apple had earlier cautioned that the legal battle could set a worrisome precedent, giving the government excessive control over tech design. The firm continues to stand firm in its dedication to robustly contest the accusations.

On the other hand, US Attorney General Merrick Garland argued that Apple's methods hinder possible advancements that could lessen user reliance on the iPhone, eventually suppressing competition and creativity in the market.
