From the filing:
The DOJ’s arguments can be whittled down to “it’s too hard to provide these documents that have little relevance anyway.” It’s not a very good argument when Apple’s requests appear relevant.
If the United States is suing Apple on antitrust grounds, then how the agencies view Apple within the US government has some relevance. They choose iPhones<\/a> for government use for a reason, and Apple believes, rightly, that those reasons would contradict the grounds of the antitrust case.
I’m not a lawyer, but I would wager that the US government’s refusal here is an obvious attempt to avoid looking foolish. The case is very thin as it is, and federal agencies rely on Apple’s technology because of its closed and secure nature.
As a reminder, here’s Apple’s rebuttal against the five claims made by the DOJ:
These were barely credible claims when they were first made by the DOJ in 2024, but they’re less so today. Even the smartwatch one has changed<\/a> with iOS 26.3 thanks to notification forwarding to third-party smartwatches.
If this becomes a debate of “yeah, Apple does these things but not in a way we like,” I doubt it’ll make it very far. However, since everyone involved is dragging their feet through discovery, including Apple, Samsung, and now the US government, I have no doubt we’ll be talking about this case for years to come.
Wesley was in the US Navy for ten years, serving as a carrier-based nuclear trained electrician, then jumped careers in 2019. Today, he is Assistant Editor, Podcast Cohost, SEO Specialist, and Social Media Manager for…<\/a>
All these claims lean on one supposition that any company or person has the right to demand Apple do whatever these people want, regardless of what these people could do to destroy the iPhone’s security. 
The Xreal One Pro isn't the full smart glasses experience you want, but it does still give you a decent spatial computing experience \u2014 assuming you're fine with a cable snaking down to your pocket.<\/a>
The DOJ spent years threatening to bring antitrust charges against Apple, and now that it finally has, the US government seems incapable of participating in its own case.<\/a>
Jony Ive left Apple to start a design company, and one of his most high-profile jobs so far is designing an EV Ferrari inside and out. Needless to say, it'll be a controversial vehicle.<\/a>
Apple's first live soccer broadcast shot entirely on iPhone impressed viewers with close-up camera work during the LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo FC match, but the experiment also exposed the limits of smartphone cameras during fast-moving gameplay.<\/a>
Today only, B&H is clearing out M3 iPad Air inventory with a $150 discount during its Deal Zone event.<\/a>
Apple's macOS Tahoe has been one of the most controversial and divisive Mac updates ever. After almost a year of use, not even including Apple Intelligence, some of its touted benefits haven't worked out.<\/a>
In this week's "Sunday Reboot," Apple shoots soccer with iPhones, Epic Games misses the mark with its messaging, and Plex's astounding price rise.<\/a><\/p>\n
