Reuters.- The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has accelerated in recent months an antitrust investigation into Apple Inc that has lasted about two years, thus increasing the probability of a lawsuit, reported The Information on Monday.
Lawyers for the Justice Department have asked questions of Apple, its customers and competitors about how the company maintains its strict control over the iPhone, according to the report, citing two people with knowledge of the investigation.
