- The Department of Justice is claiming that Apple is a monopoly, and it’s turning to a century-old law called the Sherman Antitrust Act to sue the company. The DOJ compared the case to its efforts to stop Microsoft from monopolizing the market two decades ago.
WSJ breaks down the DOJ’s legal argument in proving Apple is illegally monopolizing the market, and how the tech company might fight back.

"Raise prices above a competitive level, and to exclude competition" -- Hmm almost like the health care and prescription drug system...
Shhh, the government is taking on a more important threat - iPhones!
This! Or the fact that our military has not passed an audit in years... more than 50% of our taxes goes toward the military industrial complex. I'd much rather know where my tax dollars are going more than someone having or not having an iPhone. The DOJ is a joke!
Govt mandated insurance is an outright scam. Tax money should be used to foot those bills. Instead they outsourced it to pseudo private sector monopolies who do what monopolies do.
Meanwhile Samsung S24 Ultra is $1599 for 512 black. 🫤 I hate that they make some colors more expensive.
That’s a really good point
They also monopolized how they repair their products
yes.. battery is headache for buy oem
So? Most other products have that same thing.
You can take your Tesla to a third party but...
Just ask Louis Rossmann.

You don't repair Apple products, you buy new ones.
I own an independent repair shop. If a customer want's an aftermarket display or battery then a message will pop up saying, "Cannot verify if an original part is used, please contact apple". This message scares off customers and then they want on OEM apple part. I can buy an apple part from apple for 2 or 3X the cost of an aftermarket. I then have to contact apple and give them a serial number and order number for apple to serialize the parts to the logic board. Apple has agreed to right to repair however they have still cornered the billion dollar repair industry with this software serialization of parts. Apple also does this with the new macbooks.
There have been times when an update has been released and I see many ipads/iphones/macbooks come into my shop. I once had over 13 ipads come in in one week after an update (all ipads where of the number series & 2-3 yrs old). All ipads had bad batteries. Coincidence? I think not.
Apple Sux and their corporate values have gone astray.
I do think THIS is where the focus of the DOJ should be. Sure, apples anti repair practices are bad. But everyone is following suit. I know your aware of Samsung Serializing parts as well. Most of this lawsuit will get tossed because it's without merit. They should focus on the anti-repair practices and the absurd hardware upgrade costs, like $400 for $10 worth of ram, or $400 for a $12 nand chip for more storage.
Same thing with printer ink and supplies, tons of other products. OEM is always more expensive
The phone detecting parts not being original, by itself, is not anti-repair. At best, you can say the notification is annoying, and it should be easier to hide (if it isn't already, I haven't dealt with it myself). But the fact that we know the device has non-OEM parts in it is a good thing, because if anyone wants to buy used in the future, they don't want to get screwed over. Apple products being reliable (or at least predictable) is what gives them excellent resale value.
because its true.
Never buy apple always buy quality phones
"Just buy your mom an iPhone"
Still not illegal. Being good at business and smart is what got Apple into its position today.

I'm surprised that neither the EU nor the DOJ did something about apple's xcode(which is mac exclusive) requirement to publish apps to iOS, MacOS watchOS etc.
How is that a monopoly..? Just don’t video on Xcode 💀
yeah, use only apple to create apps for apple
@@notjxdxnit's a monopoly on iOS development tools and makes developers purchase MacBooks when they may not want to. It defeats competition without competing, so it's a monopoly
You have react native, flutter, and kotlin. All provide platform specific tools and libraries. No one would bother doing things the old way anymore.
@@SouthPeter98 So maybe don't make apps for iOS. Android is a bigger market. Apple don't force anyone to make app for iOS or MacOS
But they don’t go after the real estate monopolies
real estate monopolies own them
Apple,
"We don't allow our devices to work on other OS."
"We don't allow others companies' smartwatches, and other accessories to work properly."
"We don't allow apps to use 3rd party payment methods."
"We don't allow apps to even mention that user can subscribe on app website."
"We don't allow 3rd party app stores in our OS"
"We don't allow sideloading"
"We make almost impossible to leave our walled garden."
Also Apple
"We are not a monopoly."
They are not. Ford doesn't allow other hardware in their vehicles, they decide the pieces, the repair shops and more.
It's the same thing. A pathetic DOJ trying to prove something non existent.
Apple doesn't have the obligation to allow the connection of other hardware to their own, they don't have any obligation to allow anything they don't want, it's their ecosystem.
If Apple disappeared, all of those problems wouldn't exist. Thus, not a monopoly.
A monopoly can only exist if there's only one company to produce the good. Not the case.
Okay yall are forgetting Apple is not a nessesity… no one is forcing you to get a iPhone. All of those things are apples benefits…
@@notjxdxn If you are using a smartphone that is not connected to anything, can't install anything, and can't even properly browse the internet, why buy a smartphone. So what you are saying that today, in 2024, a smartphone is not required? lol good luck
Or just buy another phone…
1) No problem with the first one.
2) It has been shown that Apple Watches were originally to be used with Android as a gateway into iOS but there was way too much limitations that would hold it back and major security issues. Ex. Apple Watch unlocks your Mac automatically when you’re right next to it and try to enter it, something that couldn’t be done on windows seamlessly as Android and Windows are separate and don’t communicate between each other like an iPhone, Watch, and Mac do.
3) PayPal, CashApp, and others work unless you’re talking about something else?
4)
Sounds like Apple didn't give the right comgressmen their heads up stock information... Bc why else would they be doing this?
When a company is broken up, the owner(s) of the broken up company just become the owner(s) of the newly "freed" company/companies. When Standard Oil was broken up, the "freed" companies merged into smaller Standard Oils so the only thing that changed was that we went from one company to a handful of companies owned by the same people.
Well, that's the whole purpose, do check who are the new shareholders by then 😂😂😂
@@blacksheepshepherd if there are new shareholders
True. But the point isn't ownership. I don't think anyone is legally limited from ownership. The point is the effect monopolies have on consumers. So it would only be illegal if the broken up companies collude to diminish the consumer experience or quality of service for their joint gain. It had, from my understanding, nothing to do with ownership.
@@conradotieno612 if the companies have the same owners, the owners run each company in a way where the company benefits without causing much harm to the other companies but they don't make any agreements between the companies which makes any claim of colluding harder to prove.
The purchase of competitor companies in the beginnings of their existence and then having their products/services completely disappear, is the most common method of eliminating the competition; this should be illegal, the cost of this practice is charged to the consumers.
While Beats wasn’t in its early stages, it definitely didn’t have its products disappear and beats now sound way better because they aren’t just bass and no vocals or treble.
Sounds like the electric persinal motorized industry thats been around for a long time
Google and Amazon are experts at this. We would have so much innovation if Google would actually make something out of all the things they purchased but they are just filled with lazy developers.

I hope they fix ram and disk upgrade prices. Back when you could add ram to the imac I could tolerate those prices, but now there is no way to upgrade machine later. Everything is soldered…
building seamless integration is fine. but when you proactively control integration with other protocols (RCS), it is sure monopoly!
I take it that you’re not a lawyer.
@@stevenazizand are you?
Not if such controls are implemented to benefit consumers, which is Apple's argument.
@@mitchellscheer677 Thank god I can't replace a dirty/cracked rear camera from another phone to my own. I can only imagine how horrible it would've been to replace a broken camera instead of buying a whole new phone and throwing out the other one.
@@aebisdecunter Samsung also serializes all of the parts of their smart phones. All of the phone manufacturers are starting to do this. It's not just Apple.
If they're able to breakup this monopoly, I'd love for them to force back touch id and the headphone jack similar to how the EU finally got them to switch over to USB-C and also make their APIs more available to third parties can develop more sophisticated gadgets similar to the Apple Watch
API will come under trade secrets, no one can compel them to open it. Even if they do how will it help in creating a apple watch like device? APIs may help in creating apps , hardware is a completely different story. Also their APIs will be of no value of you are going to use android OS and apple cannot be compelled to open their proprietary OS for free use. And no one is going to pay apple a licensing fee when they can get android source code for free. Already , wearables have very small margin of profit(except for apple😂), nobody can or will use anything but free software for a smart watch. Also they cannot force touch ID since it was a proprietary tech which they deemed as outdated. Face id is just as secure as touch ID and reliable. EU forced them to use usb c because it was unfair to apple customers that they had to depend on apple for accessories or mfi devices which pay licensing fee to apple. Hence they compelled them to switch to a usb C as that is the universal standard and is much faster than lightning ports and also decreases dependency on apple while increasing choices for customers. 3.5 mm jack is now universally gone. I have not seen a “flagship” in last 2-3 years with it. Only some obscure sony xperia ones have it and maybe some chinese mid rangers. It is in now way increasing peoples dependence on apple. People are free to choose any number of bluetooth headphones available on the market including airpods. Law cannot be used to bring back our favorite outdated tech😂, otherwise I’ll start asking for a Disk drive in a mac 😂😂…. Although on topic of mac, it came be argued that people should be able to upgrade their macs by using universally available SSDs and Rams. That right there is a monopolistic practice.
@@ToTheDoom I think the biggest crime apple commits is charging $400 for $10 worth of ram because it's soldered to the motherboard. But you understand that they would have to make bigger laptops or sacrifice somewhere to create that space. The NAND chips they use today are much smaller than an NVME SSD. Could they do it? Sure. That and serializing parts are what the DOJ should be going after, not them refusing to write software so the apple watch works with android phones, or apple choosing what apps get through the app store.
So you want the state to intervene a private company? Lol you are delusional.
Now do this with food companies🤷🏼♂️
"illegal monopoly" implies the existence of a "legal monopoly"
but there are legal monopolies. They're just run by the government.
Every government services are legal monopoly, you know, water, electricity, sewers,...
Utilities are a common form of legal monopoly.
There’s a private health system called Ballad Health that is a legal monopoly. Its monopoly marketplace in eastern Tennessee, western Virginia, and southwest Kentucky is greater than the size of New Jersey.
Yep. The USPS is a legal monopoly (only they can deliver to mailboxes), utilities.
What about Amazon,Google,Facebook??
there is no dennying that apple has a manopoly on :-
repairing apple devices. - only autheriesed repairers can obtain parts and to be autheriesed you have to agree to replace expensive sections of devices rather small repairs like a single faulty cable/chip making repairs uneconomical. people able to carry out these repairs like this have no access to parts unless they agree not to carry out these repairs.
iphone app distribution - dictates what apps can/cant be released to users - cannot even change the deffault apps like maps, browser, etc from apples dictated choice
The repair-ability, most smart phones are becoming like this, including Samsung who serializes their parts now so you can't replacement. For app distribution, it's literally about security. Today, it is impossible to click on a website, and have a virus installed because their is not path in the code of the operating system in which an app can be installed that is not going through the app store. Once apple creates the code to allow apps to be installed outside of the app store, hackers will find a way to exploit it so they can push malware and viruses onto your phone. It's frustrating hearing these pundits who don't have computer science degrees explaining how it would be "safer" to open the ecosystem. I know what I'm getting into, I'm not trapped, from a computer science stand point, the reason Apple is successful is because the software is simply better. This isn't a "I prefer it better", I mean literally, run time efficiencies, and file structure, and compression algorithms, it's all better. And they can do this BECAUSE of the closed ecosystem.
@@heyaisdabomb apple having a closed ecosystem is no different to how microsoft tied internet explorer to windows.
customers should have the choice of using the closed ecosystem of apples app store andthe option of taking the security risks associated to alternitave app stores where apple has no say or any cut of payments.
like with android you can use their ecosystem but have the option to disable play protect if you want to take the risk of installing something from outside of the ecosystem.
and yes other manufacturers might be screwing customers with serialised parts aswell. this doesnt suddenly make it ok. it should be banned and apple are that company that lead the way with serialising parts to the extremes.
And the fact that you just cannot use old devices anymore while they should be fine to use with the old software
I'd love another one of these videos but on the UFC.
Why do people use Apple products anyways? They're overpriced and opensource free versions of their software are almost always better. Not to mention, Windows is better overall.
I raise you a Linux
Can someone enlighten me on the superior app integration that Apple has on it's competitors? Also, does this mean we can finally see improved messaging between android and apple?
So why isnt the clayton antitrust act applied here too?
do we get alternate app stores for xbox, playstation and Nintendo Switch too?
Like Microsoft has a Monopoly of 100% on Xbox
It doesn’t matter, if they are found guilty it’s a slap on the wrist and they will eventually have a workaround. It’s all theater to make it look like they’re doing something… probably a small fine and they will not admit any guilt

Interesting insights, I never knew Apple was under scrutiny 🍎.
They aren't. They are not a monopoly in any way.
It's true apply make it hard to switch
"We have no monopoly there is no monopoly here" will become a meme
We are not a monopoly, we bought the definition of monopoly in every language and clearly removed all mentions about Apple, you can check!
Refusal to support RCS, 3rd party app stores (and side loading), and lock out independent repair... clear monopoly.
You also have to manually switch off imessage if you switch to android or dumb phone.

Those 30% cut for app developers is big problem.. and phone you can not repair or pc
3:30 1. You can use apps not from the app store but maybe they are Not Safe. But you can do it
2. You can use other cloud streaming apps, you just need to download them and put your files in
3. Just use WhatsApp or Telegramm or Instagram or any app, maybe SMS
4. There are other smart watches which can be used with the iphone. But they are often not so good. You cant use the apple watch with android but you also cant use a google watch with the iphone
5. There are numerious other payment options like paypal or apps from your bank. But this is the one point where the alternatives are really not as good. So a valid point
So when you getting rcs apple. Time to adopt current cellular standards
As we walk into a new tech world, where your phone is really like an access point to the rest of the world, possibly replacing transportation, communications, data storage, behavior statistics/advertisement capabilities, and personal identification. Thus I'd suggest the following changes... (I've used iPhone since 2009 starting iphone 3GS, and do have a hard time switching over to other products)
DOJ should focus on breaking Apple into hardware company, software company, online market place company, and credit service company.
Much like how windows can be installed onto Mac and MacOs onto PC, the hardware should be made available and transparent within US territory to US users to the very least. Should other nations wish it, it should also be available for users to choose their hardware.
In addition, 'jailbreak' should not be a 'break' from its software and waives warranty, but an option to opt in or out of, so users have their rights to access their own data, and gets decide to protect it using other tools or to use it eslewhere without requiring to purchse additional storage on clouds or bigger phone storage. Also, those software updates should not been a required download for newer phone, and should be more transparent on what is changed (including battery efficiency or battery consumption, to avoid secretly forcing the device to burn out and shorten the lifespan of an iphone behind user's back). Also, the messaging tool 'iMessage' should open to include government oversight so that scam and fraudsters can be held responsible.
Apple Pay and In-App purchases should follow standard like VISA and only charge a minor fee, not a whopping 30% for similar services. App-control/approval mechanism should be more transparent, and should not be made-available by Apple company, instead it should be available to either the community or for government oversight.
Going after Apple, which clearly is not a global monopoly, when they should have gone after Meta, which definitely is.

"There is no war in Ba Sing Se."
Second question out of all of the reporters here, how many are using iPhone?
They should go after the cable companies then.if you dont have competition you pay up your asz for service
In short, yes. I wrote my thesis on ecosystems and quite obviously Apple was one of the leading examples. Apple has evolved into an infrastructure provider (everybody needs phones just as roads, electricity lines etc.) and consumers benefit from network effects in infrastructure settings (e.g., compatibility). For these reasons competition is not beneficial and its a winner takes it all situation (maybe there is space for a second solution but thats it). In the past, infrastructure was built by governments and provided to everyone, without profits in mind. However, Apple can charge whatever they want for their infrastructure accessibility. Similar monopolies are with Google, Facebook, Microsoft...
How about a share swap with Bytedance?
That’s like saying stores at Disneyland is an illegal monopoly
Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney
iOS on non-apple made products sounds like a good idea.
One of the facts I’ve choose Apple over any Google phone is how they handle the third party software on their phones. That level of security can’t be achieved otherwise, I’m afraid. And of course, they are actually well made. Now in terms of pricing, yeah Apple take a bit too much the goblin side.
You're paying a higher price for the perceived benefits you just mentioned, one of the key principles of product specialization and price discrimination (both of which benefit consumers). The markup Apple sets on its product is still within your willingness to pay based upon the benefits you perceive from said product. It seems the DOJ wants to force Apple to be like every other major tech company, which absolutely harms consumers who are seeking that perceived superiority in privacy and security and are willing to pay for such.
How super apps improve security and privacy?
Agree 100% that's why I never used apple in my life
You really had to tuck that "if the DOJ is right, then it's a real win for consumers" at the very end huh.
3:50 i just realized why theyre doing this. They all have Iphones (congress etc) and they cant do alot of what Android users can do. So theyre just gonna take the whole company down instead of making a law... Which is a waste of time too. More " im rich I should get what i want"
Closing comment was bs
03:05, what? You ALLEGE?
For god sake, you are the one (DOJ) suing apple. You should not use those kind of words here.
If apple used RCS for their phone, that would likely break down some of their monopoly.
Instead we should say Apple is more popular because of its best product and service. And that comes at an investment which for some may seem more than others but if you consciously decide to find out whether it is more or not then you will find that you are getting best of everything and it’s an optimal combination of every good aspect of technology, service and price.
Definitely not the best product. My wife asks to use my phone all the time as her iphone either page doesn't open or takes forever even though we use the same network. This is not the first iphone or provider that does this.
Apple no longer has the best hardware. It doesn't even have folding screens or 24h batteries. Even its charging time is disappointing compared to the competition.
Plus Apple bases its whole strategy on the fact that you have to change your phone and all its accessories every 2 years. They literally want you to sell your phone and buy a new one and have heavily engineered their products to be unrepairable except by their approved technicians and these guys rip you off! Their solution is almost always to buy a new one

What Apple did is no different than many other systems, Like Point of Sale (POS), car or even how government works. You can't expect to change a POS system without new terminal from the same company. You can't install Tesla's OS on your BMW. You can't change your water supplier even you are not happy with the water quality. I don't see US/EU have problems with these issue.
Apple was warned from the same agency that if they encrypted iCloud, it would not be good. Apple encrypted iCloud. I wonder if there's a correlation.
You're suggesting the DOJ is retaliating against Apple because it refused to create a backdoor in its products. Something that not even Apple has suggested. Please provide proof to support your accusation

That's because they're natural monopolies (if you don't know, google it) but to counter act that, they are regulated as utilities. (Not that the regulations are enough)
Can someone break this down for me?
How is there a monopoly? I am free to buy whatever phone I want, and if I want to switch from Apple to Samsung, I am free to do so?
If I have bought several Apple products and "locked" my self in the Apple environment, that's my solely my fault and not Apples' fault? The same would go for Samsung, if I wanted to switch to Apple? Or am I missing something?
The claim is that because some apple devices like the apple watch can only be used with an iPhone, that makes them "monopolistic". Creating their own messaging protocol instead of using Andriods messaging protocol makes them "monopolistic". Basically, you have to create software to place nice with all of your competition, or your breaking the law according to the DOJ. It's pretty wild. I know what I was getting into when I bought apple products.
@@heyaisdabombapple does a lot of sleazy stuff. I would rather see the DOJ go after their anti repair practices. That is actually illegal.

@@cane870 Yeah, but monopoly is a far cry. No tech company is a real monopoly, they are all subject to disruption, specially in the age of AI.
"android's messaging protocol", you don't know what you are talking about.
The DOJ are being very foolish here. There are many other Smartphones competing against Apple. Just because it has become the popular or defacto phone in the US doesn't mean its a monopoly.
I’m as against monopolies as can be. I disagree with a lot of things Apple does and it could stand to change some things. But Apple isn’t a monopoly in the sense that there’s no competition. There’s plenty of competition, people in the USA just prefer iPhones over other phones. The seamless vertical integration is one of the reasons. Apple is far behind their competition is almost all aspects. But when they reveal a product or a feature that’s been on the market for years as new people just buy into it. You can’t disband a company because it’s more popular than its competition. Change to rcs messaging, allow other app stores, make self repair more accessible and some other things I can’t think of but don’t break the company up for simply being more successful than their competitors
It's as Monopoly as it gets
An easy case to build, just follow what the EU did.

What about Google and Microsoft tho?????
I’m 50/50 on this case. The oxygen sensor case does make Apple look anticompetitive but it only has a strong market share in the states when it comes to smart phones.
Have the gov’t ever thought that Apple’s large market share is due to consumers’ preference? I like Apple products and I agree that its closed system does provide better security. From what I heard, most often than not, security breach happened with 3rd parties.
So laws from the 19th century are still valid?
