Summary
The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly preparing to file an antitrust suit against Apple in March. The suit would focus on software and hardware limitations on iPhones and iPads that impede competitive services. Apple has faced accusations of anticompetitive behavior in the past from companies like Spotify and Epic Games. The Biden administration has taken a hard approach to alleged anticompetitive behavior by tech firms. Both the DOJ and the Federal Trade Commission have pursued cases against major tech companies. Apple has been sued over allegedly anticompetitive practices, including its App Store rules. The Supreme Court recently declined to hear appeals from Apple and Epic Games, concluding the litigation with a mixed victory for both parties.
