Apple has asked the court to dismiss the DOJ's antitrust case, arguing that the government’s claims rely on speculative arguments and fail to demonstrate monopoly power over the smartphone market.
DOJ attorney Jonathan Lasken responded that the idea Apple is not a monopoly is implausible. He emphasized that the company's size compared to its competitors does not diminish concerns about market power.
The government claims Apple’s practices drive up prices and lock consumers into its ecosystem, citing examples like message quality degradation between iPhones and Androids as evidence of anticompetitive conduct.
Apple contends the antitrust case misrepresents its market impact, describing the challengers as 'well-capitalized' global companies rather than suggesting a monopolistic control over the market based on the alleged market share.
