The D.C. Circuit upheld the dismissal of PhantomALERT Inc.'s antitrust claims against Apple, ruling that the plaintiff failed to define a proper relevant antitrust market for its allegations of unlawful tying and monopolisation related to the App Store and iPhone apps.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Consumer.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Apple's App Store antitrust risk just got clearer: the courts require precise market definitions to challenge platform control. You must sharpen legal strategies or pivot platform dependence before filing claims.
