Apple disputes US antitrust lawsuit, arguing it faces competition and doesn't restrict third parties.

Apple disputes US antitrust lawsuit, claiming it is implausible and not required to grant software developers more access to iPhones than they currently have. Apple argues it faces robust competition from other manufacturers and has not interfered or restricted third parties from dealing with rivals such as Google and Samsung. The antitrust case, filed by the US Justice Department and a group of state attorneys general, alleges that Apple blocks rivals from accessing hardware and software features on its popular devices to thwart innovations that would have made it easier for consumers to switch phones. Apple has requested a US judge to dismiss the lawsuit, stating that the claims "bear no relation to reality."
