The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Apple over allegedly monopolistic smartphone practices. The federal agency is not alone in the matter, bringing 15 states and the District of Columbia into the mix as well. Apple, as you might imagine, disputes the allegations.

Potential impacts are myriad, from consumer messaging to smartphones to smart watches. And while there are many critics of the DoJ’s suit — TechCrunch has a little historical lesson here, for example — the Coalition for App Fairness which counts Epic and Spotify among other companies on its roster, is giving it a thumbs up.
