Apple is a consumer products company. They are selling directly to consumers.
How do you sell consumer products to consumers (who line up to buy your
products, BTW) AND be "anti-consumer" at the same time?

If Apple truly WAS "anti-consumer", then NO ONE WOULD BUY THE PRODUCTS. Do you

This DOJ case is all based on competitors whining that it is too difficult for

hoo. Apple is like 25% of the global market for phones and PCs. Try selling
your stuff to the 75% of the market.

Or feel free to create your own phones/tablets/desktops/ecosystem and make

U.S. anti-trust laws exist to protect consumers. Not competitors.
I'm not a lawyer, but the government can claim that Apple is engaging

Apple has plenty of competition.
According to the law, that doesn't matter as far as conspiracy is concerned.

ROFL. At least you got the "I'm not a lawyer" part right.
15 U.S. Code § 1:

Sheesh. Don't state what you don't understand, and certainly don't quote what you understand even less.
