Apple is scheduled to ask a federal judge to dismiss the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) case, which accuses the iPhone maker of unlawfully dominating the smartphone market. This represents a critical legal battle for the company. The DOJ's lawsuit alleges that Apple's practices stifle competition and innovation within the smartphone industry. A dismissal would be a significant victory for Apple, while a continuation of the case poses ongoing legal and reputational risks. The outcome of this antitrust showdown could impact Apple's control over its ecosystem, including the App Store and hardware integration, and potentially influence its future business strategies in the U.S. market.
