The U.S. Justice Department could soon file an antitrust case against Apple
Apple faces the possibility of the biggest legal challenge to its business plan with competitors complaining that they were unable to get access to digital assistant Siri. Apple’s rivals say that their inability to access Siri is a sign that Apple’s business strategies are anticompetitive. Apple said that its business practices do not violate antitrust law. The tech giant said that its “approach has always been to grow the pie,” and “create more opportunities not just for our business, but for artists, creators, entrepreneurs, and every ‘crazy one’ with a big idea.”
The comment touches on the iconic Apple ad called “The Crazy Ones” which starred “misfits and trouble makers” like Muhammad Ali, John Lennon (and Yoko Ono), Albert Einstein, Amelia Earhart, Jim Henson and Pablo Picasso.” The beginning of the ad says, “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules…”
And the last line, which never fails to leave a tear in many viewers’ eyes, says, “And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
