Apple has urged a federal court to dismiss the Department of Justice’s iPhone-related antitrust lawsuit, assailing as unreasonable the government’s claim that the tech giant violated U.S. law by not giving third parties access to the company’s platform.
“This lawsuit is based on the false premise that iPhone’s success has come not through building a superior product that consumers trust and love, but through Apple’s intentional degradation of iPhone to block purported competitive threats,” the company stated Thursday in its dismissal motion in the U.S District Court for the District of New Jersey. “That outlandish claim bears no relation to reality.”
