TREE NEWS reports: The US Department of Justice is negotiating a settlement in its antitrust lawsuit against Apple, and app developers including PayPal and Epic Games have told the department they worry any deal would not do enough to curb what they call Apple’s anticompetitive conduct. DOJ officials have signaled a preference for settling the case rather than continuing to defend it at trial.
DOJ in settlement talks with Apple over antitrust suit as app developers fear weak deal
AI take
A negotiated end to the DOJ's case would shift the fight from the courtroom to the terms of the remedy, which is precisely where the developers now raising concerns have the most at stake. Their worry is structural: a settlement shaped by the department's stated preference for avoiding trial may address the suit's narrow claims without touching the conduct that shapes app distribution economics. The open question is whether developer objections carry weight in the talks or are noted and set aside, and how broadly any agreed remedies reach beyond Apple.
