US Department of Justice Files Antitrust Lawsuit Against Apple’s App Store Practices
In a significant move, the United States Department of Justice has formally filed an antitrust lawsuit targeting Apple‘s App Store practices. The announcement comes on the heels of recent developments in the European Union, where regulators opted not to compel Apple to open up its iMessage platform to third-party developers.
EU Regulations and Apple’s Concessions
Despite the EU’s decision regarding iMessage, Apple is now obligated to permit third-party app stores on its iPhone devices within the European market. Furthermore, the company must grant developers access to the iPhone’s tap-to-pay functionality, enabling them to integrate payment solutions directly into their applications.
