A new judge has been assigned to preside over the US government's antitrust lawsuit against tech giant Apple after the previous judge recused himself from the case. The lawsuit, which accuses Apple of engaging in anti-competitive behavior in its App Store, will now be overseen by a different judicial officer.
The decision to appoint a new judge comes after the original judge stepped down due to a potential conflict of interest. The case revolves around allegations that Apple has created a monopoly in the app distribution market by imposing strict rules and fees on developers who wish to distribute their apps through the App Store.
