In antitrust suit, heart rate app says Apple sabotaged its product
"Faced with AliveCor's tenacity, Apple next resorted to behind-the-scenes acts of sabotage, consisting primarily of undocumented updates to the Apple Watch's operating system, WatchOS," Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP partner Adam B. Wolfson wrote on behalf of the plaintiff.
A Mountain View company that makes a heart rate analysis app filed an antitrust complaint accusing Apple Inc. of updating its operating system to make it inoperable with the company's watch, thus sabotaging the development.
Attorneys for AliveCor Inc. argued in the complaint, filed Tuesday, that the plaintiff and other heart rate analysis providers have been excluded from the Apple Watch.
