| Judge(s) sitting | Julien Neals |
United States, et al. v. Apple is a lawsuit brought against multinational technology corporation Apple Inc. in 2024. The United States Department of Justice alleges that Apple violated antitrust statutes. [1] [2] The lawsuit contrasts the practices of Apple with those of Microsoft in United States v. Microsoft Corp., and alleges that Apple is engaging in similar tactics and committing even more egregious violations. [3] This lawsuit comes in the wake of Epic Games v. Apple and the enforcement of the Digital Markets Act in the European Union. [4]
History and background
In a press conference, the US Attorney General Merrick Garland made reference to the 30% "Apple Tax", criticized iMessage's "Green Bubbles", and called out the lack of NFC access for 3rd party banking apps. [5]
Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter stated United States v. Microsoft Corp. "paved the way for Apple to launch iTunes, iPod and eventually the iPhone", and that this new suit will “protect competition and innovation for the next generation of technology.” [6]
The case was initially set to be overseen by judge Michael E. Farbiarz until he recused himself on April 10, 2024. Judge Julien Neals became the sitting judge on the case in his absence. [7]
