Apple Included in Justice Department's Possible Antitrust Investigation

The U.S. Justice Department has jurisdiction for a potential probe of Apple Inc. as part of a broader review of whether technology giants are using their size to act in an anti-competitive manner, two sources told Reuters. Streaming music leader Spotify Technology SA and others have criticized the iPhone maker’s practices, describing the company as anti-competitive in a complaint to the European Union’s antitrust regulators.
