Apple counterattacks, disproves all allegations made by DOJ in answer to monopoly lawsuit

Apple is set to fiercely contest the antitrust lawsuit filed by the US Department of Justice. Apple has chosen to disprove each allegation made by the Department of Justice in the lawsuit, insisting it has never obstructed competitors' applications and services or employed unfair competition strategies within its operating environment.

Apple has strongly refuted the accusations of monopolistic practices raised in the antitrust lawsuit by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The tech giant insists that it has never hindered competitor's applications and services or engaged in unfair competition strategies within its own operating environment, often referred to as the "walled garden."

In response to the DOJ's allegations, Apple highlighted its dedication to protecting user privacy and security. They explained that any restriction on app developers' use of APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) is purposefully done for these protective measures. Likewise, limiting third-party digital wallets is considered necessary to ensure the safety of user information.

Regarding worries over dominating the software application industry, Apple has explained that it doesn't hinder the availability of "super apps" on its platforms, pointing out apps like Facebook, WeChat, and Line that are accessible to iOS users. Additionally, the company underscored its receptiveness to game streaming services on the App Store.

Apple clarified that the enhanced synchronisation between the Apple Watch and the iPhone is due to practical reasons such as the intricacies of development, not because of any intention to monopolise the market.

Apple has reacted to accusations that it prevents users from moving to competitor products by emphasizing the simplicity of transferring data from iPhone to Android devices. They implied that customer preferences, not deliberate obstacles, could be shaping user decisions.

Apple had earlier cautioned that the legal action might set a worrying standard, giving the government excessive control over technological development. The firm continues to stand firm in its dedication to robustly contest the accusations.

Conversely, Merrick Garland, the US Attorney General, argued that Apple's strategies hinder possible advancements that might lessen user reliance on the iPhone. This, in turn, suppresses competition and progress in the industry.
