Apple is facing a flurry of new consumer lawsuits accusing the company of monopolizing the smartphone market - they supported the antitrust lawsuit filed last week by the US Department of Justice and representatives of 17 states. Since last Friday, iPhone owners have filed at least three lawsuits in federal courts in California and New Jersey, accusing Apple of inflating the cost of its products due to anti-competitive practices. The lawsuits, which claim to represent millions of consumers, reflect Justice Department allegations that the company allegedly violated antitrust laws by blocking messaging, digital wallets and other technologies that could increase competition in the smartphone market. Apple denied the department's accusations and did not comment on the lawsuits filed by consumers.
