The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

What existing rules? The rules designed for 19th/20th century oil companies that don’t apply to modern tech companies?
They can be old and technically it can be a stretch to apply them to a tech company, but they are still here.
New rules are being written.
That’s good
Apple could play in the game with a different set of rules
They’re playing a different game because they’re the ones who built the ballpark they’re playing in. Don’t like the game? Don’t go to the ballpark.
As long as the ballpark is not a problem for other people, ok. But if the ballpark is a problem for the people playing…
It’s so exhausting how you people simply can’t accept “don’t buy Apple” and leave it alone
“Don’t buy Apple” is not a giustification for Apple to do something that is illegal, at least from the DOJ point of view.
