    Justice Department lawyers are in the early stages of drafting a potential antitrust complaint against Apple, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter - a sign that a long-running investigation may be nearing a decision point and a suit
    could be coming soon.
    Various groups of prosecutors inside DOJ are assembling the pieces for a potential lawsuit, the individual said, adding that the department's antitrust division hopes to file suit by the end of the year.[...]
    The Justice Department has been investigating Apple since 2019 over allegations that it abused its market power to stifle smaller tech companies, including app developers and competing hardware makers. As the investigation has progressed, a suit has
    become increasingly likely, but the move to drafting sections of the suit is a significant step forward in the process.
