Double standards, speaking so confidently, why doesn't the USA government also share chip technology with China?
The US Department of Justice stated in a press release: "Apple's extensive exclusive practices make it more difficult for Americans to switch smart phones, undermining innovation in applications, products, and services, and bringing costs beyond the usual to developers, businesses, and consumers."
The US Department of Justice and Attorneys General believe that Apple's anti-competitive behavior has extended beyond the hardware realm of the iPhone and Apple Watch to areas such as advertising, browsers, FaceTime, and news products, including: blocking innovative super applications, suppressing mobile cloud streaming services, excluding cross-platform messaging apps, reducing the functionality of non-Apple smart watches, and restricting third-party digital wallets. In addition, US Department of Justice officials also indicated that they do not rule out using measures to break up the company to resolve this antitrust lawsuit.
Legal experts have stated that the US government must prove that Apple's business practices are "exclusive" and harm consumers by lowering the quality of competitors' products. Douglas Ross, an antitrust scholar at the University of Washington School of Law, stated that when a company with monopoly power takes actions that reduce short-term profits to exclude competitors in the long term, it becomes a problem. He added: "The fundamental assumption of the US Department of Justice seems to be that Apple must cooperate with competitors and allow them to compete."
