According to a report from Reuters, Apple is facing an antitrust lawsuit from Alivecor and if you have heard this name, the company is responsible for suing the Cupertino giant in the past as well. The Silicon Valley company is now reporting that the company is monopolizing the market in the U.S. for heart rate monitoring apps. Alivecor has said that Apple has "complete control" over the market for these health apps.
According to U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White, AliceCor could prove that Apple has violated federal antitrust law. AliveCor Inc is responsible for running the SmartRhythm app that is responsible for alerting the users to irregular heartbeats. The company also sells the KardiaBand wrist band which functions as an ECG recorder.
