Apple Pushes Back on DOJ Request for More Evidence

Apple and the U.S. Department of Justice are at odds over how much newer evidence Apple must hand over in their antitrust case. The two sides had agreed to a June 20, 2025 cutoff, but lawyers now want documents created up to 30 days before the evidence-gathering phase ends in late May 2027. Apple says it has already reviewed over 11 million documents and produced more than two million, and that expanding the search would delay the case by months.
