Apple is facing an official antitrust investigation by the DoJ & FTC over allegations of anti-competitive behavior involving messaging startup Beeper. Apple allegedly blocked Beeper over iMessage compatibility issues, limiting consumer choice. We analyze whether Apple violated antitrust laws, if their actions suppressed innovation, the "walled garden" blocking third-party devs, Right to Repair implications, comparisons to other Big Tech lawsuits, the iOS manufacturer's growing legal exposures, potential fines or structural changes if found guilty of monopolistic iOS app store practices, and the wider impact on the Apple vs Android ecosystem war.
