    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The complaint accuses Apple of moulding its privacy and security practices in ways that benefits the company financially.

    One quote particularly jumps out where the DOJ calls Apple’s privacy and security justification an “elastic shield”:

    “Apple wraps itself in a cloak of privacy, security, and consumer preferences to justify its anticompetitive conduct.

    Indeed, it spends billions on marketing and branding to promote the self-serving premise that only Apple can safeguard consumers’ privacy and security interests.”

    The DOJ also accused Apple of restricting third-party apps from receiving carrier-based messages (SMS).

    Essentially, the DOJ argues that Apple’s privacy and security practices are pretextual in nature and the company chooses “alternative courses” to protect its monopoly.
