Apple may face ‘Google-like’ legal battle from the US government in 2024

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating Apple and could file an antitrust case against the iPhone maker. The investigation focuses on Apple's control over hardware and software services, making it harder for competitors to compete and for customers to switch. The DOJ has looked into how the Apple Watch works better with iPhones and how Apple limits access to its iMessage service. They also examined Apple's payment system, preventing other financial firms from offering similar services. The investigation is still under review, but the DOJ could proceed with the lawsuit this year.
