<p>According to reports, the U.S. Justice Department is preparing to file an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, posing a significant legal challenge to the tech giant’s business practices. <br><br>The lawsuit, likely the culmination of years of allegations, accuses Apple of stifling competition through restrictive app store terms, high fees, and its “walled garden” approach to hardware and software integration.</p> 
<p>Apple’s controversial practices, such as charging a substantial 30% commission on most app store sales and restricting third-party access to specific hardware features, are at the heart of the legal action. These policies have drawn criticism from app developers and regulators alike.</p> 
<p>The lawsuit’s potential impact on Apple, which boasts a market value just shy of $3 trillion, could be far-reaching. It could change the company’s policies, business strategies, products, and applications.</p> 
<p>As part of the Biden administration’s broader effort to hold Big Tech accountable under U.S. antitrust law, the case against Apple is expected to become a symbol of the government’s commitment to promoting competition and addressing concerns over digital economy monopolies.</p>
