DOJ files suit against Apple, accusing it of abusing power as a monopoly

DOJ files suit against Apple, accusing it of abusing power as a monopoly The Justice Department and others filed a lawsuit against Apple on Thursday, accusing the company of abusing its power as a monopoly to edge out rivals and ensure customers keep using its products. So if the DOJ succeeds in this lawsuit, that could dramatically change how Apple does business, which could theoretically cause prices to be less for consumers. LEE: Because Apple owns the iPhone as well as the software and the App Store, that Apple also sells all these accessories with the phone. And it's also possible that Apple might open up its App Store to other types of apps that the DOJ is alleging that it hasn't really been open to.
