Next Thursday, June 6, we will be co-sponsoring "After the Antitrust Verdict," a hybrid in-person/virtual @ABALitigation program at @ChicagoBooth. The program’s three panels will focus on civil parallel proceedings, appellate issues, and a view from the bench discussion featuring Hon. Frank Easterbrook, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and Hon. Julius Richardson, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

This is your chance to hear practical advice from prominent appellate judges, senior officials from @JusticeATR, and experienced practitioners, either in-person in Chicago or online.

For those attending in person, we will have a networking reception with panelists and attendees at the Gleacher Center afterwards, followed by an informal happy hour.

Speakers include: Kristina Srica, Andre Geverola, Elizabeth Maxeiner, Stratton Strand, Kristen Limarzi, Allison Reimann, Kevin B. Hart, and Molly Kelley.

On Thursday, the US Department of Justice filed a major antitrust complaint against Apple, accusing the company of illegally maintaining a monopoly over smartphones, particularly "performance smartphones." The DOJ alleges Apple doesn't compete on the merits, but uses anticompetitive tactics to lock users into its iOS ecosystem and make it harder to switch to Android devices. Apple allegedly restricted distribution of "Super Apps" (like WhatsApp) and "Cloud-Streaming Apps" that could make switching between iOS and Android more seamless. The DOJ also claims Apple degraded messaging between iOS and Android to discourage people from switching away from iOS if the rest of their contacts are iOS users. Apple also used smartwatches as a "locking" strategy, only allowing full Apple Watch full functionality with iPhones, then denying third-party, cross-platform watches access to key iPhone APIs. Finally, Apple restricted competing, cross-platform digital wallets on iOS to build dependence on Apple Wallet. According to the DOJ, these practices sacrifice product quality to deter users from leaving iOS. Apple is fine making iPhones worse as long as it undermines cross-platform technologies.
