Apple in Early Settlement Talks with US DOJ over Antitrust Case, Bloomberg News Reports
Apple has made multiple offers to end a 2024 antitrust case as the Justice Department weighs claims that its policies hurt competitors and consumers.
- Apple and the Justice Department are in early discussions to settle a 2024 antitrust lawsuit, though active talks offer no guarantee the two sides will reach an agreement.
- Filed under the Biden administration, the suit alleges Apple harmed competition by blocking super apps, digital wallets, and messaging solutions while hindering smartwatch competition.
- Apple has enabled Alphabet-led RCS messaging, allowed cloud-streaming apps, and opened payment chips to outside developers, though the Apple Watch remains incompatible with Android devices.
- Justice Department official Stanley Woodward is pushing for settlements to save taxpayer dollars and expedite consumer relief, as the Trump administration actively seeks to resolve antitrust cases.
- No trial date exists for the lawsuit, which the DOJ brought alongside a bipartisan group of states and the District of Columbia, leaving unclear whether those state attorneys general are participating in settlement talks.
