The U.S. Department of Justice and 16 state attorneys general have filed a lawsuit against Apple, accusing the tech giant of engaging in monopolistic practices in the smartphone market. The indictment focuses on five key areas, including super applications, cloud gaming, cross-system text messaging, smartwatch compatibility, and electronic wallets. Apple is accused of restricting user choices and hindering competition. The lawsuit seeks to prohibit anti-competitive behavior and calls for Apple to face consequences for violating antitrust laws. The case adds to the increasing scrutiny faced by large technology companies both within and outside the United States.
