The US has filed a landmark lawsuit against Apple, which accuses the tech giant of monopolising the smartphone market and crushing competition.
The justice department alleges the company used its power to limit competitors as well as the options available to consumers.
Apple has vowed to "vigorously" fight the lawsuit and denies the claims.

As a former Apple Employee, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Can you elaborate plz
how will this change the ecosystem, and what is the expected timeline
he’s not a former employee. he’s just a liar in his mommies basement. Every engineer respects apple.
@@Retro-Revival Isn't that obvious? The overpriced devices that Apple released, makes you pay the charger separately, and the lawsuit against unofficial Apple repair are already proof enough.
@@D8099. but the app makers do not. And the poor consumers will now that they know that they were always being screwed.
The EU forced Apple to use USB C. If not for them we'd still be stuck on that headache of lightning cable.
It's weird that people still use cables, I haven't charged any of my phones with anything but wireless charging in years. Both my Android and iOS devices work with the same wireless chargers too. The idea of updating to the latest iPhone, the only one that has USBC but not having upgraded to wireless charging prior is just bizarre to me.
@@AshWeststarhow does your wireless charger get power?
@@AshWeststar you still have to plug a USB-C cable to your wireless charger, the Idea of changing everything to USB-C is to have 1 universal cable for everything
@@AshWeststar You don't seem to mention wireless charging is slow, plus you can't use your phone while using wireless charging. All those Chinese androids can do 0-100% in 25 mins with their 80/100W charger, while apple is still using that pathetic charging speed.
Jeez only flagship phones have wireless n still you need wires for those wireless docks@@AshWeststar
The US govt has been encouraging Apple to be a monopoly for a decade and now they've gone 180. I bet it's because the markets Apple are in are saturated and products are lacking innovation.
It's never too late to change your mind and do the right thing, I'm glad this is finally happening
You hit the nail on the head
Not really because inovation most of the times come from samsung then apple have implement it so the market is advancing at a fast rate and in terms of pc apples chip has made amd and intel get their shit together as they set the bar there. Innovation has been non stop by everyone
@@jose-Maki It sounds like Apple lacks innovation and the willingness to risk for something new and potentially better and chooses to copy Samsung and depress them, which is achieved by the unfair advantage that they already have. Thus, they broke the law and proved the point of the Federal Trade Commission.
Nokia monopolized the industry for an entire decade.
did apple forgot to send monthly Cheque* to US govt. lol
Haha that's why I thought
😂😂😂
Exactly 😆
fck apple 😂😂 cry more
😂😂😂
Uh oh someone forgot to pay their lobbying fee
Haha 😂😂
😂 yeah something’s off
That was the first thing that came to my mind. 😂😂
OMG THIS hahaha there must have been a misunderstanding from WITHIN, or this would have never been on the news
I'll never forgive them for starting the trend of $999 smartphones. Heck more people are getting desensitized that $699 smartphones is considered "midrange".
Prices too high but innovation and quality goes lower
then buy Huawei, Samsung
Well said
HUAWEI
Have you tried breaking the security on any apple device? Have you ever owned any apple device for that matter?
tell that to android community where in gaming apple is the beast
Cost of production in China $10 Price of product in the US $1600 Explain. 50 Marks
greed?
Idk about them numbers lol, I've seen the clip you're referring to though
@adamwigley9738 I've seen the same clip as well, I could be wrong, but I think the $10 was the labor costs, like how much someone made for making it. Not the price of the components of the iphone.
Still it's probably no more than 150$@@Pablo-vn9hn
Cost of production is $1600 in the states??
I think the whole cross platform messaging issue is only in the US where majority are only using imessage as a way to communicate. in other countries, we use 3rd party apps like whatsapp and telegram and i dont know anyone personally who messages using imesssage
Oh definitely. This must just be US thing or something as everyone else I know just uses WhatsApp.
Well, we use iMessage as well in Europe, but it's just for the casual SMS one to one when we want to stand out from the more 'noisy' Whatsapp
@@danielwhyatt3278 Yeahh iMessage isn’t as popular in other countries as much as it is in the US. They live on iMessage lol
@@miks564 ohh you do? I personally prefer telegram for both one and one and group chats but WhatsApp’s alright too Maybe also cause we all got use to it so it feels more like home than if we had to use iMessage but if someone contacts me through iMessage, I tend to reply back thru iMessage too but it’s not my first option
You’re definitely right here. I’ve heard several times before that America is really hung up on Apple messages.. I personally have an iPhone, but all group messaging with friends, work colleagues, et cetera is just done through WhatsApp. As a family, we use Apple messages, just because we all have iPhones
It's nice to see the US govt agreeing with EU on this.
😂 because people are leaving apple now .
Wait until Apple visit politicians and hand them a bag of cash to bribe with.
@@zainzoala1083overseas yes, in North America that’s not the case. iPhone dominates America, android is basically a minority here.

They should be prosecuted for downgrading battery life!
Android user here, Modern iPhones arent perfect, but their batteries are much more efficient than android competition an iPhone SE 2022 with a 2000 mah battery comfortably lasts a full day for over 18 months, and the plus and max models comfortably get over 2 days, when an average android wont get a day out of a 4000mah battery, it's literally why android phones have such collosall batteries
I have a six year-old iPhone and the battery works just fine!
Someone is doing this to me. I have nothing in life.. hahahaha.. downgrading the battery for my deteriorated life. What else could top on this.
@@RibbitTabi have 5 years iphone and the battery is bad. After 2 years of using, i need to bring all the time charger or power bank.
That's not true at all. Androids have better battery life than apple. You are capping@@niamhturner1451
4:34 😂😂😂 Buy your MoM an iPhone 🤣🤣🤣

What a good business man and good marketing by Apple CEO Tim Cook. This is why Apple is such a high value company these days 😂😂😂
You forgot to mention BootCamp on Intel Based Mac: 1. All Macs from 2018-2020 support Windows 11 natively but apple didn't update the firmware (BIOS) to enable TPM 2.0 (fTPM) 2. Apple rarely update the drivers of BootCamp (between 2006-2020/ once a year or every 2 years) 3. No Official support of eGPU 4. Overheating Problems due to bad firmware (EFI Shell) implementation / Hardware initialization when using Windows (loss performance by 5%-20%) 5. Thunderbolt 3 Drivers very bad on Windows 10 since apple uses a different michanism to connect the x4 lanes of thunderbolt to the CPU which not direct access, unlike Intel Nuc or other PCs use direct access to the CPU.
Technically accUrate and obvioUsly onpoint!
ABOUT TIME. the lack of innovation every year with every variant but still charge a kidney for a new phone is ridiculous!
Loooool who told u go buy a phone that feels like it costs a kidney
Not an Apple fanboy, but I recently traded in my S21 for an iPhone SE 2022, and I got a promo deal and only ended up paying $180 for the 128 GB version. Phone runs very quick with it's A15 chip and it's small battery suits my needs. I would say if you want to spend less money on a phone, get a mid-range phone, like the Samsung A54 or perhaps an iPhone SE 3rd gen. Dont feel pressured to spend money on flagships, because honestly no one really uses all the features other than the bigger battery life, which can be obtained by Android or Google Pixel mid-range phones, or if you want the flagship speed and chip performance, then the SE. The big reason why I switched to Apple after spending 3 years with an Android phone is because I use my phone in a simple manner, and I was in the market for a new smartwatch. I did some research and surprisingly found out through a KZheadr who tests all smartwatches against medical grade devices to see that the Apple Watch outperforms all other wrist wearable in sleep tracking and heart rate tracking. In short, the Apple Watch has the best sensors for some odd reason, maybe because Apple invests all their money into smartwatches now, so I got an Apple Watch SE Gen 2 for $270 and I love it, from the safety features to the convenience of answering phone calls, and being able to see notifications real time along with gesture controls made this a great purchase. I also want a phone that would last a very long time, the SE proves to be that with it's old and proven iPhone 8 chassis with modern internals, that is good for 5 years minimum. I would say do your research before getting a phone or smartwatch, don't be a fanboy or loyal to any brand, always do your do- diligence when buying a product, and make sure it is reliable with longevity in mind.
@@Trapo-io6ci Loooool who asked for your opinion.
Dont buy...! Who's forcing you to?
Yeah and they will be suprised soon why china making better phones. Apples reception is terrible too
It took them this long? I mean, Apple is the company that is well known for doing this better then any other tech company! The only reason really I don't buy any Apple products at all, is for this soul reason.
So dont buy...! Whats the problem? Cant believe this is a law suit. Apple went bankrupt 3 decades ago and they have fought established markets like Nokia, Blackberry, Microsoft, HP and Dell and IBM and they didnt whine about it. Get over and move on. You dont like their products, dont buy.. You like buy. Sounds like you want something glittery and premium and cant afford it but then somehow want to put them down to make yourself feel good for not being able to afford. I cant afford their products and thats why I buy their cheap used products and love it. Cos it takes a lot to spoil their products.
@@pavanbk15589 "So don't buy" isn't really a strong argument against this lawsuit. Whether Apple fought to establish their market presence has no bearing on this either. The fact is they enjoy a strong market position and thus their practices are subject to regulatory scrutiny. This has nothing to do with people not being able to afford their products either. Do you know what's covered in the lawsuit?
@@pavanbk15589 First of all, you don't address anything of what I actually said. Please learn to give constructive criticism instead of spilling out your feelings and thoughts not related at all to what I said. The only thing I criticized, and what this law suit is about, is their way of using unfair methods in order to hinder fair competition. This is not someone's will to take down Apple in particular, this is about upholding the law of a free market. Without making sure those laws are followed, the market is suffering and the end consumers as well (just like he said in this vid).
You haven’t actually made any points. The lawsuit is frivolous. Apple aren’t hindering their competition, they are innovating in a free market. The thing your asking for, i.e government intervention, is about as far from free market as you can get. Consumers have the right to choose anything they want, they choose Apple.
@@seesidesummerhouse6112 Free market doesn't mean no control at all from government etc. If that was the case, the world would look a whole lot different now! Even worse. If you believe that it was not controlled all these years I guess you are in for a surprise, if you look into it. How is intentionally making other providers looking worse on their phone (the video mentioned for example) and also hindering other suppliers from having fare access to supply their services? The fact is that when you are as big as Apple is, then you can take advantage of your size and that in itself is not considered fair competition when done like this. They can compete as much as they want, but not by any means. I encourage you to look more into this and understand the other side of your opinion. Companies like Apple and Google have rightfully so been accused of using their dominant position in the market to unfairly favor their own services or products, thereby restricting competition.
It’s about time that anti-trust laws get enforced!
... In the US that is
@@IdontKnowAtAlllol True, the EU has gone after Apple before.
Hear hear- I have been complaining about the lack of enforcement of anti-trust laws for a long time. Like many decades, and in many other industries, besides tech/computing.
I hope they keep the momentum
go to sleep
I don't live in the US so I don't know the affects of Apple, but in the UK at least, I am not hindered at all by using an Android so I don't understand why in the US, people continue to buy Apple when it is so anti-competitive? If users don't like the fact that Apple are gatekeeping and not sharing, then shouldn't they just buy an Android?
As someone living in the us. Things are more complicated than that.
In the US customers are discriminating non Apple users. If you don't have an iPhone you will be excluded from social groups...
Hard to do considering they have 70% of market share
so agree!!!! it really is about "fitting in" people feel ashamed for having a green text bubble
People want to fit in here in the us. I have had both iPhone and android and when I had an android people would always think I had a shitty phone even though it was better than theirs
better late than never
Good to hear about this lawsuit. Hope they get a huge fine and be forced to open up the app store.
So finally are we getting a low end affordable Iphone?
Yes and it's called "Mapple"
you already have one, the iphone se
Then they stop supporting your OS force you to use new iphone with newer os or you cant use your app.
Sounds like a disappointed dad who is grieving over his son’s bad behaviour at school.
And is calling the millions of other disappointed dads across America and the world to stand up to apple and their injustice 😊
Android phones can access other app shops, but the American government should force Google to significantly lower the 30% charge they implement on apps and purchases.
or just use 3rd party stores like everyone does
This is about apple, stay on topic .
@@EJayMD-11LMAO, this.
Google could charge 90% and they'd be fine, if people didn't like that they could just use 3rd party stores, that's the whole point of that, preventing a monopoly. Now, Apple though...
It's 15% for sales below $1M then 30% after that
As a former Apple user I personally hate them and the restrictions it brings to have an iPhone. Needing apple ID, iTunes, apple software on your pc just to be able to access your phone or images etc. It's way to much work. Android you can just plug in to any PC and you have access. At work we only have apple phones and everyone curses them. I personally feel that here in Sweden more and more people are switching to Android and hating IPhone for these reasons.
every word 👍
welcome to the Android world!
who siad you couldn't use Spotify
iTunes doesn't exist anymore. You don't need a PC to use an iPhone. wdym?
@StephenGill-gd4fx This just goes to show how long ago i used a Iphone, and I'm still not missing it. Even so, you still have a ton of restrictions for just using the phone. On my android, I'm not prompted to have a separate ID for my phone, prompted to use said ID and password to access basic features on it, and constantly being restricted by use of functions like copying files, pics etc to my pc without the use of other software that is now taking up space and time. It's just a hassle and I prefer things to be compatible at easy without having to take 20 extra steps for the same outcome. Not to mention the damn charger that doesn't fit anything but apple products.
About time you notice! Hope you do something about it.
Americans prefer to start a whole lawsuit instead of downloading WhatsApp lol
It's not just about iMessage, it's about how Apple has a huge lockdown on the iPhone when it comes to who or what apps can run on the device.
Your approach is super shallow. Clearly you don’t understand. It is not about messaging app. It is about having monopoly over iOS apps and charging high fees and so on.
You could argue that Facebook/Meta itself is a monopoly in Europe for the same reason that most people use WhatsApp. You have to fix the root of the issue, otherwise you're just putting a bandage on the huge gaping wound.
Not just that. The 'grainy' videos he mentioned is absolutely spot on. But two corrupt parties going for each other lol
@@felipin0709 but that’s a good thing, apple was always famous for its security and checking what apps are on the App Store, while on Android you don’t know what apps are safe
10 years later, but better later than never
Did Apple say no to the government or something?
You obviously don’t know these laws work. This was only a matter of time.
Exactly, they obviously went against something Don't forget, apple was the last company to 'agree' to give its info to the NSA after jobs died. They must have pissed somebody off😐

Their prices are out of control
Go compare an iPhone to a similarly specked out android product and you’ll see it’s exactly the same. The only reason you have this perception is because Apple doesn’t lend itself to the lower end of the market just like Louis Vuitton doesn’t offer entry-level bags for discount prices. Educate yourself and stop listening to a man just because he’s behind a podium.
@tilly7326 prices have been increasing like crazy for very little change for the last 10 years. I have the newest Samsung phones which is similar to Apple prices however for most people these prices are very high.
iPhone prices are expensive but so is a Ferrari vs a Ford, so is a Rolex vs a Casio! If manufacturers could make a phone as good as the iPhone for substantially cheaper they would, but no one’s succeeded because making a high quality reliable product is expensive. Apple are the premium product, there’s nothing here forcing people to buy them. The messages service argument is laughable, there’s nothing stopping users from picking an alternative messaging app. Apple doesn’t block notifications for competing messaging apps for instance, or prevent those apps from being installed etc. Don’t like the prices, simply buy from a different vendor!
@@MrSamoDudeDid you not watch the news briefing? You’re completely missing the point.
@@tilly7326Android phones are pretty much everywhere and for every budget, right? But Apple's another story. "forcing monopoly" using its big market share to corner others in the market, making it tough for folks to find another option that doesn't hit the wallet hard. And how's Apple pulling this off? By playing gatekeeper with features like messaging and AirDrop. If you're not in the Apple club, good luck trying to get in on the action. This kind of move can leave people who don't use Apple out in the cold, which isn't cool for choice or competition.
Took them over two decades to understand what Apple sells or does to be able to write that speech. That was quick.

Check more large companies with consolidated websites after mergers to find anticompetitive barriers resulting inmonopolies or damage to competition.
From this lawsuit would it be good to upgrade to the iphone 16 later this year? I have a iphone 12 pro max currently. Hope the price comes down and they make a truly better phone this year from this lawsuit.
what about amazon?

Good now where's the lawsuit for Nvidia.
Nvidia hasn't got any real competitors. They just got a huge head start. However, Nvidia isn't able to provide enough GPUs, and the demand is so huge that even with competitors they would thrive. So monopoly isn't really the issue, the real issue is lack for companies actually trying to compete. Hopefully Intel will try to get into the accelerator market or perhaps Qualcomm.

App creators been crying about this for years
Yeah its a night mere creating Apps for Apple, is a total waste of time, the bugs they introduce each new iOS update totally brakes the Apps and you have to wait 1+ year to get fixed if ever gets fixed. If they allowed third parties companies to have full control of their export options to work 100% in Apple products the developers will have more options and they wouldn't have to wait for Apple to fix or no fix issues. For example Chrome on Apple is basically Safari skinned to look like Chrome.
People create apps for money not for Apple. That’s why android market is full of 💩 apps and App Store doesn’t have this.
As a developer myself, I've always wanted to get into mobile development but it always stops at Apple. £100/year is insane just for a dev license, and that's excluding everything else. Third-party app stores would help so bloody much. No catch, just third-party app stores. How much more software they'd be for iOS there would be tons.

As a computer engineer who loves tech and eats them for breakfast, this clown know zero about tech, and how they work, so is any naive clapping for him. I have zero Apple shares and I’m so pissed off with Apple pricing, Cook’s prioritising shareholders above customers, but the BS he brought has no merit. He missed just points and moaned like a child about stuff any private company definitely has complete rights to. For example, Apple making their devices hard to be repeated and force certain ways for parts is a valid point, but raising a lawsuit against a shop for pricing its product the way it sees fit is totally dumb. Especially when there are other options out there and nobody is forcing people to buy it’s a mutual deal. You either take it or leave it, it’s not like it’s the only option and you’re gonna die if you don’t buy an iPhone! This can’t be more stupid and silly than this. Another is, when I have a shop and I allow you to present your product on my shelves, I am the one who decodes at which price. Not you, not a 3rd party and not the gov or a stupid person like this. It’s my shop. You can use other shops or your own if you don’t agree on my price. And I don’t even have to declare my reasons. What the hell is going on with this f*coed up world, leaving priorities and going after minor stuff. Double standards. Invading and allowing killing of innocents, leaving healthcare mafia, backing pharmaceutical criminals and running after a phone manufacturer to implement justice and fix the world, because this is gonna feed the poor, solve our money printing and trillions of loans, economy and other problems. If you’re smart, you would know why this is happening. They are broke like the EU, and instead of solving their problems and corruption, they prefer to be pirates and rob successful business to take ransoms. That’s how we’re gonna beat, Chinese companies and keep our businesses home! Politicians = thieves. And now they add stupidity to the resume.

50,000 homeless people in LA alone... when will the US government focus on fixing it's own issues like a corrupt healthcare system or obesity or terrorist attacks?
Spot on and SF as well as
But but but… “i don’t like how apple runs their business”
I see, you're the guy here to demonstrate whataboutism to all of us. Good job. Also to the other guy, this isn't about how Apple runs their business, this is about how they make others run their business as well as diminish cross platform support to make non-apple users buy an iPhone next time.
Look at the price jump between iPhone 7 and iPhone X - about 500 USD..
why now ?
What about anti repair monopoly.
What about the price hike on cars that used to cost $35k and now cost $65k+.... who is suing them?
That’s completely different lol everything has gone up and cars have better technology now days too
@@davidware9549 Has technology improved so much in the last four years that car prices have almost doubled? I disagree. Also, more technology means more chances of things breaking, and the cost of technology repairs is insane. But I appreciate your comment. Did you consider that iPhones use better technology? Would that explain their high prices?
The android phones have more features than iphone with half the price... thus "worse technology" but ironically more expensive
well business means monopolising the supply to make it high demand
Agree❤
Actually, I can understand Apple restricting non-Apple-tested App Store apps on iPhones for security reasons. Every app sold on the App Store has been tested thoroughly (takes about a week per app), to ensure there is no malware, no user security concerns, no pornographic content, etc. Even updates of existing apps have to go through this process. Without that gating, we’d end up with a mess like downloads on Windows devices, that are often full of malware (anti-virus tech industry is booming). As an Apple-user, I do have some gripes about Apple, but I realise security and privacy are things they champion where other developers clearly don’t care.
I agree 100%!
@@RibbitTab Thank you.
Have you paid attention to the news lately? There's an unfixable security vulnerability built-in the hardware of some of their products. Apple is concerned with money. Sure they might have a more secure ecosystem, but windows isn't as far behind MacOS as they make it look. But both are veery far behind the security of an OPEN SOURCE piece of software called Linux. In any case, from my fellow developers, I only heard complaints about the interface they need to work with in order to develop any apple-based software
Why would a developer pay $99 per year to apple so others can use their apps (which are free/niche/won't make the $99 per year back anyway)
@@bennythetiger6052 I spent 20 years on Windows, after 7 years on MSDOS. Apple is not perfect, but I would never go back to a Windows machine. I have to use Windows via Parallels on my MacBook Pro for one specialty app I need for my work & research, and I need to make sure I have the net access turned off before opening Windows, or my device clock gets mysteriously reset to random hours & minutes. Too many security issues with Windows. Security is a nightmare now that the USA has embraced AI so vehemently. It’s in the hands of the hackers now. I’m also not happy with Apple diversifying so much and losing focus, it’s the opposite of what Steve Jobs was trying to do. My M1 MacBook Pro is only a shadow of my old mid-2013 MacBook Air in user experience. I’m sitting tight, waiting for a couple of guys in a garage in Scandinavia to design an entirely new computer that will revolutionise computing in a happy way…. Big changes are coming during the next 19 years.
They just want a cut that's all
Switched over from Android to Apple for the first time and I absolutely hate it. Going back to Android once my contract is over!
Apple has had this coming for a long long time, I look forward to them being put back in their box.
Sorry you can’t afford one bud

@@MrTheg2009Forget about him, threatened by US govt. For once, they'll see Apple is not really good. I have 8 phones, 7 of which are android and 1 apple. I play Pokemon Go, and nothing beats my androids when it comes to this game and how I play it.
@@jervylim9250I feel that lol I don’t play much yet but the fact I have pokemon ruby, sapphire and emerald as well whatever else I want is one of many reasons Android is far better. I like my apple stuff but it’s a iPhone 10 and an iPad mini 5th gen. the people who buy the new stuff all the time and fund apples horrible anti consumer practices are actually so stupid. If we care about the environment we shouldn’t be upgrading precious silicon chips every year. Not to mention there’s no need, most phones have been capable for years now
I think they should really investigate how they do not allow you to service your computers, but charge 10x the amount for RAM, SSDs etc
I think the first part of what you said on its own is illegal sooo
Fascinating insight into greed.
Why now？
Usually the EU courts getting at Apple but now the US gets involved good! Maybe it will help bring down the price of Apples products, I doubt it, but we can hope
Apple likes 50% profit margins
The price wont be lower though cuz other brands are doing the same thing with their price
