US DoJ sues Apple for having a monopoly over smartphones

The US Department of Justice has come knocking on Apple's door, alleging the world's most valuable company "illegally maintains a monopoly over smartphones by selectively imposing contractual restrictions on, and withholding critical access points from, developers". They also reckon Apple "undermines apps, products, and services that would otherwise make users less reliant on the iPhone, promote interoperability, and lower costs for consumers and developers". Apple does this the DoJ says to "extract more money from consumers, developers, content creators, artists, publishers, small businesses, and merchants, among others". Apple's response is "this lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart" and will "set a dangerous precedent, empowering government to take a heavy hand in designing people's technology". Is that supposed to scare me? Anyways, between this and the EU's boot on its neck, I'm enjoying Apple finally getting some comeuppance for their big headed vibes the last 5 or so years. This'll be a spicy story for months, if not years, as Apple and the US government duke it out in court and thousands of nerds with blogs turn into armchair lawyers.
