Apple in settlement talks with DOJ over antitrust lawsuit
The US Department of Justice and Apple are reportedly negotiating a settlement to resolve the 2024 antitrust lawsuit accusing Apple of a smartphone monopoly. Bloomberg reports the talks are ongoing, though details remain undisclosed. Apple has previously denied the allegations and fought the case in court.

A settlement could let Apple avoid a potentially damaging trial, but the terms—whether they involve App Store changes or other concessions—will determine if this is a genuine antitrust win or a slap on the wrist.
