Apple’s Alleged Monopoly over Smartphone Market
Plaintiffs in several related class actions allege that Apple has monopolized the smartphone market through anticompetitive conduct,such as restricting cross-platform messaging and degrading functionality of non-Apple devices. Plaintiffs allege that through this and other conduct, Apple suppresses competition and traps its users within its ecosystem. The Plaintiffs further allege that Apple-specific functionalities such as AppleWallet and iCloud compel customers to purchase only Apple products and that this conduct reduces innovation and creates higher costs for consumers.
Our Commitment to Excellence
Girard Sharp LLP represents investors, consumers, and institutions in class actions and other complex litigation nationwide. Our class action attorneys have obtained multimillion-dollar recoveries for victims of unfair and deceptive practices in antitrust, financial fraud, and consumer protection matters against some of the country’s largest corporations. We served on the leadership team in the securities litigation following the
collapse of Lehman Brothers, the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history, in which total recoveries for investors exceeded $700 million. We also served on the Plaintiffs’ executive committee in the recent spoofing litigation against JPMorgan Chase that returned $60 million to investors. When Sallie Mae, the leading provider of student loans in the United States, misled the public about its financial performance to inflate the company’s stock price, we recovered $35 million for investors in the company.
