On June 30, local time, Judge Julian Niles of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in Newark denied Apple's motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice. The court ruled that Apple must face the antitrust allegations, which accuse the company of unlawfully monopolizing the U.S. smartphone market. The lawsuit contends that Apple impedes competition by restricting third-party application and device developers, thereby limiting users' choices of competitor products. The case will now proceed to further legal proceedings, which may be lengthy. Apple has stated that it will vigorously defend itself in court, asserting that its restrictions are legitimate technological safeguards and do not stifle innovation.
