Apple responds to American justice

The American Department of Justice (DOJ) has initiated a trial against Apple, for alleged anti-competitive practices on the part of the firm. One of the points it is accused of is having voluntarilyprevented the compatibility of its Apple Watches with Android.This is to force iPhone or Apple Watch owners not to buy a device from a competing brand.

The accusations

The trial, 88 pages long, mentions:

Apple's smartwatch, the Apple Watch, is only compatible with the iPhone — Apple uses smartwatches, an expensive accessory, to keep iPhone customers from choosing other phones. After copying the idea of ​​a smart watch from third-party developers, Apple is now preventing these developers from innovating and limiting the Apple Watch to the iPhone to avoid a "negative impact on iPhone sales."

According to American justice, “if Apple can get a user to buy an Apple Watch, it becomes more expensive for that user to buy a different type of smartphone, because it forces the user to ditch their expensive Apple Watch and buy a new type of Android smartphone».

Cupertino responded through 9TO5Mac. The apple company formally denies these allegations. She claims that this was never her intention and further providedconvincing elements of answers, which prove that there was no ill will on his part.

Apple tried, but failed

For three years, the firm would havetried to make the Apple Watch fully compatible with Android, but in vain. As 9TO5Mac reports:

In response to the DOJ's assertion, Apple confirmed for the first time that it had at one point considered Android support for the Apple Watch. After a three-year investigation, Cupertino said it determined that an Apple Watch with Android support was not feasible due to technical limitations. As such, he abandoned the idea.

Cupertino has expressed its concerns to MacRumors regarding this trial by the American justice system, and fears for its identity and its ability to continue to develop good products for its customers.Apple is under attack from all sides right now, whether its competitors, governments, or European Union regulators,the company has no right to rest.
