  • Analysts mostly nonplussed by DoJ suit, and believe Apple will win

    The Verge has “experts” who see it very differently https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/22/24109033/doj-apple-antitrust-lawsuit-legal-expert-praise That is why until a verdict is in, it is just speculation.

    Joe Biden needs to go. I am sorry but I am not usually political but this guy is ridiculous 
    This started two years into the Trump administration.
    Sure did! Biden erased many of Trump's initiatives. 
    - Why not this one?! 
    - What's the angle? 
    - Does the administration hate Apple that much that they are looking for Any reason to knock an American company?

    I appreciate the perspective of nudging Apple to change, but the ridiculous part is using a lawsuit to extract - what? extraction concessions? extract cash? - from Apple.


    Why not this one?  Maybe because the executive branch should not attempt to interfere with the judicial branch.  Biden would be rightly criticized if he did attempt to interfere.  Let the lawsuit play out on its merits, or lack thereof.

    Additionally, the former President is arguing in a case that SCOTUS has agreed to hear that a President can do whatever they want without anyone being able to do anything about it. If that is the case then the current President can do whatever HE wants to do too and there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it either. Silly I know but it it applies to one then it applies to the other. In fact, Biden could just forgo the whole court case and jump to splitting Apple up. Again, ridiculous but that is where this silliness goes.

    Only time will tell if you are right. Why don’t you reschedule this post for an update in 2 years. Personally my money is on the DOJ who, you know has actual lawyers and stuff, as opposed to two writers of an Apple blog. 
    If only Apple had a few actual lawyers and stuff.
    Couple of thoughts, it isn’t Apple’s lawyers that AppleInsider is quoting. I doubt that Apple’s lawyer's see this as this simple or are so cavalier.  Further, Apple couldn’t win a case where Cook made statements on a QER which is typically covered by a catch all disclaimer that is almost lawsuit proof and paid out close to a half billion dollars that AppleInsider then blew off as insignificant. They couldn’t hold off the EU regulations and also just got hit with a 1.84B Euro fine. Their brilliant legal minds also sued a tiny company with a pear logo and ended up having to help redesign their logo given the public blowback. They lost the Apple Watch case and settled with Qualcomm. This is their top notch legal team that they are bringing to this fight?
    The EU if you noticed, generally  only goes after American Companies and never their own companies.
    Greensill, Wirecard AG are two examples where they didn’t just go after companies, but shut them down. Glencore they heavily fined for taking bribes. That aside, the reason they probably do is that American companies could be coming in thinking they can do whatever they want while most EU companies are playing by the rules? You just made my point. Those companies are not Google or Apple. Also Notice the EU never does anything bs China,….
    Your  point was that the EU generally only goes after American companies. That is not true. I gave you three examples where you were wrong. Not sure how that “makes your point”. As for China, they have put limits on Huawei 5G equipment so one can hardly say it “never does anything” against Chinese firms (your sentence was a little vague so I could be misquoting you there.)
    Talk to me when EU goes after the biggest Chinese company or their own biggest company. Or you think the Chinese companies or Biggest European companies are just angels compared to Apple Evil Empire.

    Please, it quite obvious EU has no fear of any repercussions from American leadership when they attack American companies that they would get of it’s a Chinese company or big European companies 
    Here you go with your opinions as facts - “quite obvious” The only thing that is becoming obvious to me it that you don’t seem to know what you are talking about.

    This is a great article.

    I read through the complaint because I work for an investment firm and had to do it as soon as it came out.

    i have to say, this complaint is simply filled with pure idiocy and outdated claims, I am not a lawyer but it’s hard to see how the DOJ can prevail here.

    This complaint is a perfect example and great argument for small government and how stupid and outdated these people are quite honestly.


    The 5 percent stock loss today is a buying opportunity.

    The problem is that Jim Cramer agrees with you! (Sorry, insider investor joke where you always do the opposite of what Cramer recommends)
    Jim Cramer gets a bad rap honestly. He is quite well respected in our world .
    They go ahead and buy buy buy! :smile: 
    Just for context, DOJ went after Microsoft about 20 years ago and they had a much better case honestly than this one.

    Today, 20 year later, same day government wants to interfere again with Apple, 

    Microsoft soft is at an all time high
    I’m sure Apple is thrilled with you insightful investment analysis /s 
    I don’t care how Apple feels honestly. I just look at the facts 
    Um, what investment firm do you work for again? … 20 years ago the DOJ went after MSFT and now they are doing better than ever and on this one case I can now say that the “facts” are that it will be the same for AAPL! Yeah, solid investment thesis there! Again, /s
