Leading the Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) rumor mill today is news of an investigation for the tech company. Today, we’ll look at that and other for Thursday.
Dutch Investigation: , reports MacRumors. The watchdog group is looking to see if AAPL is giving its own apps in the App Store preferential treatment over those made by other developers. The tech company has already responded to the investigation announcement. It says that it is “confident” the investigation will find that it gives all developers the same treatment.
iTunes Future: , reports
9to5Mac. This report notes that even after the release of the rumored Books, Podcasts and Music apps, iTunes will still remain as its own app. However, the report claims that the tech company is likely to stop future development of the app in favor of focusing on the standalone ones.
Lawsuit: , reports AppleInsider. This lawsuit comes from Seven Networks and was filed in the Eastern District Court of Texas. The lawsuit claims that AAPL is infringing on 16 of its patents. This isn’t the first time the tech company has had to deal with patent lawsuits in this area. It’s likely one of the reasons that is is closing its physical stores in the district to avoid similar lawsuits.
