Quick Technology News on August 11, according to media reports, two well-known law firms in the United States are currently competing to become the attorney for Apple in a consumer class action lawsuit. The lawsuit involves Apple being accused of monopolizing the smartphone market in the United States and could face billions of dollars in damages.

Subsequently, a number of consumer class action lawsuits were filed against Apple in California, New Jersey and other places. In addition, in June this year, the EU antitrust regulator announced that Apple’s App Store rules violated the Digital Markets Act, and initially determined that it constituted monopolistic behavior. Apple's violation is mainly due to App Store rules that prevent application developers from guiding consumers to choose alternative products and restrict free communication and contract signing between developers and users.
