Apple (AAPL) has opened settlement discussions with the Department of Justice over its 2024 antitrust lawsuit, a report said. The suit, filed in March 2024, accused the company of maintaining an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market through practices that locked users into its ecosystem. The talks are early and no terms have been agreed, the report added.
The DOJ case centers on Apple's control over iPhone software, App Store rules, and restrictions on competing services. A settlement could require changes to how Apple manages third-party access and payment systems, though the company has denied wrongdoing.
Shares of Apple fell 1.11% today to $329.57. The stock carries an AlphaScala Alpha Score of 57 out of 100, labeled Moderate, reflecting its balanced risk-reward profile.
Apple is a member of the AAPL stock page. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for early next year.
