Apple","description":"On March 21, 2024, the United States Department of Justice and sixteen Attorneys General sued Apple, alleging that \u201cApple undermines apps, products, and services that would otherwise make users less reliant on the iPhone, promote interoperability, and lower costs for consumers and developers.\u201d In other words, many of the DOJ and AGs\u2019 allegations boil down to lock in - that is that the features chosen by Apple lock in developers and users to stay in Apple\u2019s ecosystem by making it harder to switch or jump between platforms. We discuss the case and the claims advanced, and what it might mean for antitrust enforcement, tech, and consumer experiences.
