On the eve of Apple's new product conference, the trouble is coming!

Zhongxin Jingwei, August 30th. As the Apple New Products Conference is about to be held, this technology giant has encountered big trouble.

According to the Wall Street Journal Chinese website, Apple may face antitrust lawsuits from the US Department of Justice by the end of this year.

The iPhone manufacturer has been investigated by the Ministry of Justice for more than three years, and developers have accused the company abuse their market forces to stifle competition. Politico quoted people familiar with the matter last Friday that it is unclear whether the Ministry of Justice will formally file a case.

The Ministry of Justice is considering a lawsuit against Apple, and at the same time, it is also expected that it will file an antitrust lawsuit against the online advertising business of Alphabet's online advertising business, which is dominated by the market.

According to Politico's report, the Ministry of Justice did not comment to the media. Apple does not comment.

Politico reports that complaints around Apple App Store have been spreading for many years, mainly concentrated on the company's policy that the company prohibits external payment in -app purchases and prohibits iPhone users from bypassed the application stores to download software on the device. This is in sharp contrast to the equipment running Google's Android operating system, and the latter usually allows users to install applications from competitors. However, Google's app stores are also facing antitrust censors in the United States and Europe. (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)
