The Rising Tide of Antitrust Investigations and Lawsuits Against Apple: App Developers May See a Wave of Changes

Big Tech is caught in the undertow of a growing number of antitrust battles domestically and abroad. Apple is getting pressed on its App Store policies by the U.S. Department of Justice, state attorneys general, the European Commission, and in private civil litigation. The House Judiciary’s antitrust subcommittee recently grilled Big Tech CEOs in hearings that dove deep into allegations of antitrust misconduct. A panel of Winston & Strawn partners hosted a webinar that offered insight into the global investigations and lawsuits scrutinizing the antitrust implications of Apple’s App Store policies and practices, as well as broader implications for app developers and others impacted by a technology industry in flux. 

Highlights addressed during the webinar included:

• Ongoing investigations by DOJ and state attorneys general into Apple’s App Store policies;
• House Judiciary’s antitrust subcommittee’s recent Big Tech hearings and potential regulatory action;
• The European Commission’s two ongoing investigations into Apple’s App Store policies; and
• Epic Games’ lawsuit against Apple, alleging its App Store policies violate U.S. antitrust laws.
