Credit: Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR Apple recently requested internal data from Samsung to prove that iPhone users can easily switch to Android. The DOJ says Apple waited too long to request Samsung’s data, even though it knew the company was central to the case. It warns that the international process to get internal Samsung data could delay proceedings and should not be used as a reason to extend deadlines.
Even if the request is approved, the DOJ says Apple might not get the data in time and will have to accept that risk. Apple’s plan to use Samsung’s data to defend itself in its antitrust fight is now facing resistance from the US Department of Justice (DOJ).
