The DOJ lawsuit accuses Apple of building a moat around the iPhone, claiming that Apple's practices restrict competition and harm consumers. One allegation is that Apple excludes other companies from offering digital wallet services on the iPhone, impacting consumer choice and potentially raising costs. Additionally, Apple's limitations on game streaming apps and smartwatch compatibility with non-Apple devices are cited as further examples of anti-competitive behavior.
