The U.S. Justice Department’s case against Apple Inc. began in court yesterday with both sides having presented their opening statements.
The Justice Department claims that ahead of the launch of the iPad and iBookstore back in 2010, the company conspired with publishers to raise e-book prices.
When confronted about the matter in an interview at the D11 Conference last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple rejected the settlement offer because it would have had to admit it did something wrong.
“œWe‘re not going to sign something that says we did something that we didn‘t do, so we‘re going to fight,“ he says.
