The US DOJ antitrust case has seemingly ground to a halt as Apple keeps dodging and delaying requests, which could result in a judge’s order for Apple to comply.

Apple isn’t making the DOJ antitrust lawsuit go easily
The United States Department of Justice accused Apple of monopolistic practices with the App Store, iPhone, and other parts of its business. It’s been a glacial case, as Apple is seemingly dragging its feet during document collection during the discovery phase.
According to a filing from the DOJ plaintiffs to the court, Apple is causing a lot of roadblocks by denying requests for HR data, additional document custodians, and specific business data. The filing suggests Apple keeps playing as if it doesn’t understand some requests, or seeks to limit the scope of document gathering in the name of privacy or business secrecy.
