Rumors say that Apple is in the target area of the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice with the feds, which focuses on its new policy which require developers to write iPhone OS apps using only Apple-approved programming languages.
The rule of the Apple would effectively prohibit developers from using third-party code to create iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch applications. Apple's new policy prohibits third-party analytics tools from being inserted into apps, which could make it possible for competing ad networks to serve advertisements on the iPhone OS.
The result of the antitrust was seen when Apple faced the threat of action from the regulators. There were mainly two key issues first, whether Apple's developer policy has an anti-competitive effect on the market and the second, whether the company has justifiable business reasons for imposing the restrictions.
It’s true that Apple can enforce whichever rules it want to enforce, but till the time until it starts dominating the markets. Even if it starts dominating the market it can enforce the rules, but then also company must have enough arguments, which suggests that it has more of a good impact of the restrictions other than doing the harm.
