Presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to break up Apple by separating its control of the App Store from its ability to sell its own apps on its marketplace, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts told The Verge editor Nilay Patel in an interview Saturday.

Warren's Medium post announcing her plans to "break up Big Tech" does not mention Apple by name, but instead calls out Amazon, Google and Facebook. But her campaign confirmed to CNBC Friday that Apple is included in the mission, which states that companies with an annual global revenue of at least $25 billion cannot own both a "platform utility," defined as a company that offers "an online marketplace, an exchange, or a platform for connecting third parties," as well as own the participants on that platform. In Google's case, for example, this means they cannot own both its ad exchange and business on that exchange.
