United States sues Apple: Read the full DOJ lawsuit document here

The US Department of Justice officially filed its antitrust lawsuit against Apple today, after years of preparation. Apple has already voiced its opposition to the suit and vowed to “vigorously defend” itself against the claims.

The full PDF of the DOJ’s lawsuit is embedded below and available for download here.

Here’s Apple’s response:

At Apple, we innovate every day to make technology people love—designing products that work seamlessly together, protect people’s privacy and security, and create a magical experience for our users. This lawsuit threatens who we are and the principles that set Apple products apart in fiercely competitive markets. If successful, it would hinder our ability to create the kind of technology people expect from Apple—where hardware, software, and services intersect. It would also set a dangerous precedent, empowering government to take a heavy hand in designing people’s technology. We believe this lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law, and we will vigorously defend against it.
