The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has filed an extensive 88-page antitrust lawsuit against the technology behemoth, Apple. The DOJ alleges that, like smartphones, Apple is suppressing competition and wielding undue influence over the automotive industry via its phone mirroring service, CarPlay. The lawsuit implies that Apple's infotainment systems have become a fresh platform for the company to exhibit anticompetitive conduct, adversely affecting both consumers and rival companies.
