According to Fast Technology on November 22, according to media reports, the U.S. Department of Justice and 15 states filed lawsuits against Apple in the first half of this year, accusing Apple of abusing its dominant market position in the smartphone market.

In the complaint, the U.S. Department of Justice claimed that Apple maintains its dominant market position by restricting or prohibiting the development of cross-platform technologies, such as super apps, cloud streaming services, and instant messaging.

According to the complaint of the U.S. Department of Justice, it is a story of Apple growing from a young company suppressed by the "dragon" Microsoft to becoming a "dragon" itself. However, Apple quickly denied the relevant allegations.

Recently, Apple argued in a U.S. federal court that the judge should dismiss the antitrust lawsuit at an early stage because the U.S. prosecutors failed to clarify how Apple's alleged monopolistic behavior harmed any consumers or developers.

Apple claimed that restricting developers' access to its technology is reasonable, and forcing the company to share technology with competitors would hinder innovation.

Industry insiders said that large technology companies have always been the focus of antitrust scrutiny. Google has also experienced a similar situation as Apple. Just this week, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a request with the court urging the federal judge to force the sale of Google's Chrome browser. Google has previously been ruled to have violated U.S. antitrust laws with its search business.

The U.S. Department of Justice stated in the document that to compensate for the damage caused by Google's monopoly, the United States requires Google to spin off Chrome, which would end Google's control over this key search access point and allow competing search engines to access the browser.

Google believes that the current proposal by the U.S. Department of Justice is too radical and warns that it will harm consumers and businesses.
