Apple fears that US lawsuit aims to make iPhone more like Android.
The US today sued Apple for its monopolistic grip on the smartphone market. Filed by the Justice Department, the lawsuit wants Apple to give up its anti-competitive practices. Defending itself, the Cupertino giant said that it feels the «lawsuit threatens who we are.»
As if Apple didn’t have enough problems with the EU breathing down its neck and forcing it to make changes, the US is now expecting the same. The lawsuit, which was backed by 16 states and the District of Columbia, centers on the iPhone.
The crux of the lawsuit is that Apple designed the iPhone to keep people glued to it, whether they want to or not.
