Apple says US lawsuit is wrong and will defend against it

Apple on Thursday said an antitrust lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice is "wrong on the facts and the law" and that it will vigorously defend against it.

"This lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart in fiercely competitive markets. If successful, it would hinder our ability to create the kind of technology people expect from Apple—where hardware, software, and services intersect," the company said in a statement.
