Apple is seeking internal Samsung data from South Korea in its ongoing antitrust case with the U.S. government over alleged monopoly practices. The case, which began in 2024, accuses Apple of using App Store rules, developer restrictions, and control over key iPhone features to limit competition in smartphones and related products and services. Following unsuccessful attempts to have the case dismissed, Apple has requested a formal letter of request for documents from Samsung Electronics in South Korea, citing the Hague Convention of 18 March 1970 on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters. The request is narrowly tailored and is dependent on specific Samsung records tied to smartphones, smartwatches, and the Galaxy Store.
