 At least three proposed class actions have been filed since Friday
in California and New Jersey federal courts by iPhone owners who
claim Apple inflated the cost of its products through
anticompetitive conduct.
 The lawsuits, seeking to represent millions of consumers, mirror the
Justice Department's claims that Apple violated U.S. antitrust law
by suppressing technology for messaging apps, digital wallets and
other items that would have increased competition in the market for
smartphones.

 Oh dear, even more greedy brainless morons jumping on the bandwagon.

 If you don't like the Apple products, simply go and buy Microsoft,
Android, etc. products instead. There's a massive array of other
choices for the dumbasses to use.

 Are there realistic alternatives to Apple Pay or iMessage?  Samsung Pay
or Google Pay are not accepted by most vendors that accept Apple Pay.

It's not even remotely Apple's fault that those other companies products are near useless. That's why most people use Apple in the first place - "it just works".
If those other products and services aren't working properly, then go complain to Samsung, Google, etc., or if you're American you can sue those companies.
