The disputes suggest both sides are relying heavily on data from Apple's rivals and partners to argue whether its App Store and platform policies help or harm competition, which could shape how the case's core antitrust questions are resolved. The scope fights over subpoenas may also delay proceedings, even as reports point to parallel settlement discussions between Apple and the DOJ.
