Isn’t that illegal?

Hasn't Apple been doing it for years?

I'm guessing as long as they're not in collusion, such price minimums are perfectly legal.

And I suppose if the almighty government can set minimum prices for labor, why not?

But Apple is the only source of Apple computers.

Four manufactures account for 97% of the US sales, and they got together and set a "minimum price" that their distributors could charge.

If we had a real DOJ this would end badly for them.
