Epic’s campaign against Apple monopoly takes major step forward with U.S. antitrust lawsuit

The United States Department of Justice has filed an antitrust lawsuit against tech giant Apple, claiming that the company has created an illegal monopoly over the smartphone market.

Epic Games has been one of the most vocal adversaries of what they call Apple’s monopoly over mobile devices and has engaged the tech giant in various legal battles and disputes in recent years. Epic and founder Tim Sweeney have been at the forefront of appealing to various international regulatory bodies to step in, with the U.S. finally making its biggest move yet.
