The US filed a lawsuit against Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones

US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed an antitrust case against Apple, alleging it illegally monopolized the market for app distribution and payments on its iPhones. It said Apple’s conduct made cloud-streaming apps so unattractive to users that no developer designed one for the iPhone. It said Apple’s conduct cleared the way for Apple to launch its breakout success, the iPod.
