Apple fails in attempt to dismiss smartphone monopoly case

Apple has lost its attempt to dismiss an antitrust lawsuit filed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and state attorneys general, marking a significant victory for the Biden administration's aggressive enforcement stance, which has been carried on by enforcers under President Trump. The lawsuit accused the company of blocking competitors from accessing essential features on its devices. U.S. District Judge Julien Xavier Neals said that “allegations of this nature . . . are sufficient” to proceed. The case, filed in March 2024, could lead to years of litigation, with the DOJ asserting that Apple has deliberately created barriers to stifle competition.

Aon calls for $1trn insurance boost

Aon chief executive Greg Case has called for $1trn in private capital to enter the insurance sector over the next decade to address increasing coverage gaps for natural disasters and cyber threats.

In 2024, economic losses from natural disasters reached $223m, with only $145bn insured. Aon anticipates that alternative capital investment will double in the next five years, driven by investor appetite and demand from companies facing reduced capacity from traditional insurers. Case emphasised the importance of transparency and understanding risk to bolster investor confidence.
