TOKYO -- Apple has proposed modifying its iPhone sales contracts in Japan to allay suspicions that they violate the country's anti-monopoly law, the Japan Fair Trade Commission announced on Wednesday.
The commission has been investigating the U.S. tech giant, as its contracts with the big three Japanese wireless carriers were deemed potentially problematic. The concern was that the arrangements prevented the carriers from formulating their own pricing strategies, which would be considered "unfair restraint of trade" under the law.
