The Department of Justice made good on whispers of a major, imminent antitrust enforcement action against Apple by announcing the lawsuit Thursday, accusing the iPhone giant of violating the law by exerting its “monopoly power” to stay ahead of smartphone competition.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said that the DOJ, 15 states, and Washington, D.C., have joined in a New Jersey-based federal lawsuit that alleges Apple has violated § 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, which “prohibits monopolization or attempts at monopolizing any aspect of interstate trade or commerce.”
