Justice officials said Thursday they are suing Apple, saying its devices and software constitute a monopoly and generate huge profits at the expense of customers.

“Every step in Apple’s course of action built and strengthened the moat around its smartphone monopoly,” the lawsuit said.

The U.S. Department of Justice and 15 states allege it used strong demand for its iPhone and other products to drive up prices and hurt smaller rivals in the first major antitrust effort against Apple.

For example, it is claimed that Apple is making it more difficult for competing payment apps and smartwatches to work with iPhones.

Instead, it prioritizes Apple Pay and Watch, rather than PayPal or Garmin, for example. Shares in both companies rose today on news of the lawsuit.

Another major complaint concerns messaging. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said users who try to message owners of other brands of smartphones end up experiencing issues such as videos not being sent.

Apple shares are having their worst day since August 2023 – down 4 percent at one point – on a day when the stock market hit record highs across the board.

The Justice Department has announced a sweeping antitrust lawsuit against Apple, accusing the tech giant of having an illegal monopoly on smartphones in the United States.

The Justice Department has announced a sweeping antitrust lawsuit against Apple, accusing the tech giant of having an illegal monopoly on smartphones in the United States.

Apple joins a list of major tech companies indicted by U.S. regulators, including Alphabet’s Google, Meta Platforms and Amazon.com under the administrations of both former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden.

The lawsuit accuses Apple of five key areas in which it has denied rival companies full access to its technology – in an effort to stifle competition.

In addition to messaging apps, smartwatches and digital wallets, Apple has been accused of blocking competition so-called ‘super apps’ and cloud streaming gaming apps.

Apple is said to be making it harder for competing messaging apps and smartwatches to work with iPhones.

Officials also say it has blocked access to its contactless technology that enables mobile payments – meaning iPhone owners can only use the Apple Pay service.

Meanwhile, App Store rules surrounding game streaming services have hurt competition.

Super apps are apps that combine multiple functions, such as calling, messaging and payments, in one place, making it easier to switch between smartphone platforms. They are common in China and include WeChat.

How Apple limits access to sensors and chips

Consumer hardware companies, such as smart tracker maker Tile, have long complained that Apple has limited the ways they can work with the iPhone’s sensors while developing competing products that have better access.

Apple started selling AirTags — which can be attached to items like car keys so users can find them if they’re lost — several years after Tile sold a similar product.

Similarly, Apple has restricted access to a chip in the iPhone that enables contactless payments.

Credit cards can only be added to the iPhone through Apple’s own Apple Pay service.

And Apple has also faced criticism for its iMessage service, which only works on Apple devices.

The Justice Department cited an email chain from Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder who died in 2011, in which he said it “wasn’t nice to see” how easily consumers could switch from iPhones to Android phones and promised to protect developers ‘force’ its payment systems in an effort to capture both developers and consumers.

The case could drag on for years. If the DoJ wins or Apple makes concessions, Apple’s rivals will initially benefit.

But it would also mean better and cheaper apps and products made by third-party companies like Spotify or tracking gadget Tile.

“Consumers should not have to pay higher prices because companies violate antitrust laws,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.

Garland said monopoly power is classified by the Supreme Court as “the power to control prices or exclude competition.”

He said: “As outlined in our complaint, Apple has that power in the smartphone market.

“If there’s no doubt about it. Apple will only continue to strengthen its smartphone monopoly.”

The Justice Department alleges that Apple uses its market power to get more money not just from consumers, but also from developers, content creators, artists, publishers, small businesses and merchants.

The 88-page lawsuit, filed in U.S. federal court in Newark, New Jersey, said it aimed to “free the smartphone markets from Apple’s anticompetitive and exclusionary conduct and restore competition to lower smartphone prices for consumers , reduce costs for developers and preserve innovation for the future.”

The case takes direct aim at the digital fortress Apple has built around the iPhone and other popular products like the iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.

They have created what is often called a ‘walled garden’ – where the carefully designed hardware and software can flourish together seamlessly, while the consumer has to do little more than turn on the devices.

But the complaint is that this prevents other companies from working together so seamlessly.

The strategy has helped make Apple one of the largest companies in the world, with annual revenues of nearly $400 billion and, until recently a market value of more than $3 trillion.

Shares of Apple are down 7 percent this year, while most of the stock market has soared to new highs.

It has led to longtime rival Microsoft – the target of a major Justice Department antitrust lawsuit a quarter-century ago – taking the title of the world’s most valuable company.

According to the lawsuit, rules and decisions are designed to force Apple users to remain in the Apple ecosystem and purchase the company's iconic but expensive hardware, the iPhone.

According to the lawsuit, rules and decisions are designed to force Apple users to remain in the Apple ecosystem and purchase the company’s iconic but expensive hardware, the iPhone.

Apple is already subject to antitrust investigations and injunctions in Europe, Japan and Korea, as well as lawsuits from corporate rivals such as Epic Games.

One of Apple’s most lucrative businesses – the App Store, which charges developers commissions of up to 30 percent – ​​has already survived a lengthy legal challenge under US law by Epic.

Although the lawsuit found that Apple had not violated antitrust laws, a federal judge ordered Apple to allow links and buttons to pay for apps without using Apple’s in-app payment commission.

“We believe this lawsuit is flawed on the facts and the law, and we will vigorously defend ourselves against it,” Apple said in a statement.

Shares of Reddit opened up about 38 percent on their first day of trading on Thursday, in a sign of investor eagerness that paved the way for more tech companies to hit the stock market this year.

The social media company’s shares traded at $47 on the New York Stock Exchange after being priced at $34 in its initial public offering on Wednesday, and continued to rise. The pop estimated Reddit’s market cap at about $9.2 billion, down from the $10 billion it was valued at on the private markets three years ago.

The listing is a milestone on a long road for Reddit, which was founded in San Francisco in 2005. The site is best known for its message boards, where users can gather on forums known as subreddits to research and discuss everything from parenting to power washing to Labrador retrievers. Over the years, the company has struggled with many of the issues faced by the largest social media companies, such as how to moderate your opinions and make money.

“The process of becoming a publicly traded company has made us so much better,” Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said in an interview Thursday morning. “We deliver better products, faster.”

Reddit’s performance indicated that public markets need more technology offerings after stock market collapses due to rising interest rates and economic uncertainty. Just over 100 companies went public in the United States last year, about a quarter of the number of companies that went public in 2021, according to data compiled by Renaissance Capital, which manages IPO funds.

Reddit’s IPO wasn’t guaranteed to be a success. The company is growing but unprofitable and has faced questions about the strength of its advertising and data licensing businesses.

On Wednesday, artificial intelligence company Astera Labs soared 72 percent on its first day of trading on the stock market, which combined with Reddit’s debut could encourage other private tech companies to go public. These include Rubrik, a cloud data management company; SeatGeek, a ticket provider; and ServiceTitan, a home services software company.

A key question for tech companies considering an offering is whether they should moderate their valuation expectations. Many private tech companies that raised money during a euphoric investment climate have since raised money at lower valuations.

Against this backdrop, some larger, well-funded tech companies, such as payment processor Stripe, appear to be in no rush to go public. Stripe, based in San Francisco, said last month that it had purchased shares from its employees, allowing them to partially cash out their stake in the company without an initial public offering

Reddit’s first day of trading was also a test of whether it would become a “meme stock,” which is when a company gains a flock of followers on social media and its shares can be promoted or pilloried for the financial gain of its followers. One subreddit, WallStreetBets, has developed a powerful role in the financial markets as a promoter of meme stocks, serving as a place where traders gather, exchange tips and talk.

In its public offering, Reddit offered up to 8 percent of its shares to Redditors, the people who use the site regularly, in an unusual move to reward some of its most loyal users.

Typically, large financial institutions can buy into an IPO the night before the company goes public. These institutions are the ones that stand to benefit the most if they sell to the high interest of retail investors the next day.

“It’s a way to create loyalty,” said Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida. “The company says, ‘Look, we want the people who have been successful to get some benefits.'”

That also entails risks. Shares of Robinhood, a stock trading and investing app that decided to sell as much as a third of its offering to retail traders through its own app during its own IPO, closed down 8 percent on its first day of trading when it went public in 2021 went.

One of the biggest winners from Reddit’s IPO was the Newhouse family, the media dynasty that controls Condé Nast through its holding company Advance Publications. The Newhouses could reap a windfall of about $1.4 billion from the roughly 30 percent stake they own in Reddit. Other major shareholders including Tencent, the Chinese internet company, and Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI.

“We did it, mom,” Alexis Ohanian, one of the site’s co-founders, said on social media after on Thursday. Mr. Ohanian, who previously served as chairman of Reddit’s board of directors, is no longer a principal shareholder or has any operational role at the company. He and Mr. Huffman parted ways after disagreements over how discriminatory language should be moderated on the website.

Thursday from the New York trading floor, Mr. Huffman pointed to the improved speed at which the company has added new features and improved tools over the past year for moderators, the thousands of volunteer users who oversee the site’s subreddits.

These changes — and the specter of more to come — are still a source of tension for many of Reddit’s more than 70 million daily users. Many have worried about how the pressure of quarterly reports and the demands of Wall Street could affect the site’s operations, saying profits on products could be detrimental to what Reddit, Reddit, has created.

“It’s a natural feeling, and one we share,” Mr. Huffman said in the interview Thursday. “But we love Reddit – that’s the emotion we all have in common. And it’s important to us to treat Reddit with respect as we move forward.”

He added: “But there’s only so much I can tell – now we have to show it.”

In 2020 he said The sun, ‘She’s the coolest person in the world. Before we were in a relationship, we were good friends.

‘We used to be watching TV on a Wednesday evening and she would say, ‘Wait a minute, if you want to be a big artist one day, you should definitely go to a pub or club and play some ‘current songs’.

“She instilled that in me, and I got out and did it. Without her I wouldn’t be here.’

It’s a way for people to regulate their emotions and it is “often (but not always) associated with autism spectrum disorder and other neurodevelopmental disorders.”

“For the past four years I have suffered from anorexia nervosa, which I have been reluctant to talk about because restricting food after I got sober at age 20 felt like the last vice I could cling to,” Tallulah prescribed Fashion in May 2023.

She said she went to an assisted living facility in Malibu at the age of 25 to deal with both the eating disorder and the depression she was struggling with.

“It was a largely therapeutic experience; for the first time I grieved for the 15-year-old misfit, the ugly duckling,” she said.

‘I was also diagnosed with ADHD and started taking stimulant medication, which was transformative.

‘I felt smart for the first time, but I also started to enjoy the appetite suppressant side effect of the drugs. I saw a way to banish the clumsy teenager in favor of a flighty fairy.”

Tallulah said that ‘like many people with eating disorders, [her] my sense of myself became confused.’

She said that “the onset of rapid weight loss” led to a feeling of “unhealthy elation.”

Tallulah said: ‘People say, “Oh wow!” And then it quickly turns into, “Are you okay?” My friends and family were terrified and I turned it down. They said, “Is this the ADHD drug?”

She said she was “very protective” of her medication and “rationalized it” by reminding herself how it improved her focus.

“An eating disorder therapist later told me: the smaller you are, the bigger you feel,” the actress wrote. “How fucked up is that?”

She said she weighed 84 pounds in the spring of 2022 and faced significant health complications as a result.

“I was always freezing,” she said. “I called mobile IV teams to come to my house, but I couldn’t walk in my Los Angeles neighborhood because I was afraid I wouldn’t have a place to sit down and catch my breath.”

It’s been almost two years since Tallulah’s stepmother Emma Heming, 45, released a joint statement via Instagram with her two daughters and Willis’ ex-wife Demi Moore, 61, and daughters Rumer, 35, Scout, 32, Tallulah, 30 , in which they announced that the actor was stepping back from acting amid his aphasia diagnosis.

It continued: ‘As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him. This is a very challenging time for our family and we are extremely grateful for your continued love, compassion and support.

“We are going through this as a strong family unit and wanted to include his fans because we know how much he means to you, just as you mean to him. As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that.”

Luke Hines has shared his encounter with a brazen thief.

He later reviewed the footage and realized the opportunistic thief had slipped in after driving his car through an automatic door.

The man entered just seconds after Luke left the parking lot, brandishing what Luke described as a weapon in the shape of a metal bar, which was left behind.

He said the building is very secure and requires a PIN to enter, but the man managed to sneak in.

Fortunately, he was unharmed, but the thief managed to make off with the expensive bicycle.

Luke appeared in My Kitchen Rules in 2014, which he won with friend Scott Gooding.

He is also a fitness coach who once worked with Angelina Jolie, as well as a TV host and cookbook author.

The fitness guru made headlines when he gained weight during the pandemic lockdowns and then managed to shift 10kg in 10 weeks.

Luke weighed 85kg before Covid, but ballooned to 100kg thanks to eating treats as if they were regular meals and poor exercise habits.

“When I decided to lose weight, I wrote down everything I did and documented it to help others on their weight loss journey,” Luke told FEMAIL.

“I learned that it’s all about a strong mindset.”
