The lawsuit seeks to upend a major part of Apple’s business.

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

    All I want is RCS on iPhone

    Me too, but isn’t this a chicken and egg situation?

    • why should Apple add it if carriers don’t support and you haven’t go through Google if you want secure messaging?
    • why should carriers support it if so many phones don’t, and why are they ceding security to Google?
    • is not Google also a monopolist?
    • is RCS even a useful standard if there’s not a consensus to make it ubiquitous?
