Judge rules Apple must face antitrust lawsuit brought by the US DOJ


The US Department of Justice's antitrust lawsuit against Apple will progress, based on today's district court ruling.

US District Judge Julien Neals of New Jersey denied the tech company's motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought over its "walled garden" approach to smartphone software. The suit claimed that Apple's restrictions and fees placed on developers, as well as its limits on third-party devices and services, were in violation of antitrust laws. It recently introduced a new App Store fee structure for its operations in the bloc in response to a ruling by the European Commission that it fell afoul of the Digital Markets Act.
