I expect them to cover this in as much detail as possible. They are probably the last big tech / business news website standing. I know Gizmodo, Engadget, Tech Crunch etc exist but nobody seems to have resources and connections The Verge does.
I’m upset when the government wastes resources on a big lawsuit that it’s absolutely going to lose, because it’s weak on the law and inept on the not-that-complicated technological issues. I also question the leadership of an organization that, in the name of consumer protection, decides to target a product with ludicrously high customer satisfaction ratings. Consumers love their iPhones, perhaps more so than literally any other product they own. What a monumentally stupid target.
You do realize that you can like iPhones and Apple products while recognizing that a lot of Apple’s business practices seriously hurt consumers, right?
I also don’t think they’ll lose. They have a ton of evidence of intentionally anti-competitive behavior from Apple.
To be fair, it’s the most interesting story the verge has covered in about, well, as long as the verge has existed.
This is a big deal - it’s going to shape the entire tech industry for the foreseeable future. And it’s going to drag on in court and probably also congress for years and years.
Apple is the target of the lawsuit but the DoJ is also telling every other tech company what rules they need to operate under. The last decade of “just do whatever you want” is over.
The Verge has such a hard on for this story. They’ve published like ten articles about it already.

Uhhh 404media???
It’s not the same although I must admit I didn’t know 404 had this kind of coverage and now it’s in my RSS :)
Good! It’s a massive story.
Really? I kept getting the feeling they were being sarcastic so I stopped reading
They were like this about the Epic V Google suit too. their legal reporting team is over-the-top.
Because we all do, because someone is finally trying to do something about Apple’s decades long walled garden anti-competitive bullshit.
What are you upset that your favourite trillion dollar mega corp feels picked on?

Heroin has a pretty high user satisfaction rating too. You can’t use customer satisfaction as a metric for legality.
“I like my iPhone so any criticism of Apple has to be unjustified”
Your reasoning is weak, do better.
Probably spent all his money on an iPhone, so none left for an education
Is that froth I see at your mouth?
Yikes. You don’t have to defend Apple in public my man, they have lawyers for that.

Europe already did. That’s just usa kind of catching up, if it ever success.

Think about all the legit clicks.
