The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo is accusing Apple of using "illegally exploited" minerals extracted from the country's embattled east in its products, lawyers representing the African country said Thursday, April 25. The DRC's lawyers have sent Apple a formal cease and desist notice seen by Agence France-Presse (AFP), effectively warning the tech giant it could face legal action if the alleged practice continues.
