Canadian government doesn’t think Apple has engaged in anti-competitive conduct

The Canadian government has found no wrongdoing when it comes to Apple’s promotion of the iPhone with Canadian wireless carriers. The Competition Bureau released an official statement following a two-year investigation saying there isn’t sufficient evidence that Apple has been engaging in anti-competitive conduct. The statement says there are no terms in Apple’s deals with wireless carriers that have had a “significant effect” to the competition.

Apple was being accused of using market force to demand carriers to sell devices made by its competitors at inflated prices as well as supposed limits being placed by Apple on marketing and sales of the iPhone by the carriers. A query is being done in France and South Korea for the same allegations.
