WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Four more U.S. states on Tuesday joined the Justice Department’s lawsuit against Apple alleging the iPhone maker is monopolizing smartphone markets, the department said in a statement.

The four additional states were Indiana, Massachusetts, Nevada and Washington state, the Justice Department said. The original lawsuit was filed in March, with the agency being joined at the time by 15 states and the District of Columbia.
