I’m an iPhone user.
And I recognize that Apple steals a lot of ideas from Android phones.
Apple doesn’t have a monopoly on mobile phones.

Also they are engineered so techs can’t work on them and therefore you have to buy a new one. Channel Louis Rossman.

I don’t like Apple and never use their products, but I disagree that they have a monopoly on smart phones.

I dont worship Apple, but I have, use, and like the iPhone. That said, there are plenty of alternatives. I dont see any monopoly.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Apple won’t comply with DOJ demands to open locked phones for them?

Given the current ill nature of the government, that makes a lot of sense.

One of the biggest BS moves apple did was require a Mac to publish iPhone apps. This is why developers all of the sudden started using Macs.

Last quarter smarphone market share for Apple was 61%. Next was Samsung at 22%. The rest were Google Motoroloa and others in the single digits. Apple is dominant but I wouldn’t say it’s a monopoly. If they get into the 90 percent plus range then maybe.

But of course Google doesn’t have a monopoly althought it controls 95% of all web searches?
The hypocrisy of the Left is never ending.

Exactly. This is absurd.
I can buy an Android and other things.
And, oh boy! - look who’s leading the way?!
“Consumers should not have to pay higher prices because companies violate the antitrust laws,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement.
Does any rational human being think Mary Garland cares about consumers?
Anyone cheering this on is a statist.

Apple has NO monopoly power in the smartphone market.
Google and the leftists seek to destroy customer/individual privacy that Apple has been trying to uphold.
Google and the leftists / the "Swamp" of socialism / the "progressive" infestation of governments, seek absolute control and power over people, and the lawsuit is a mining expedition to see whatever left-wing lawfare can dig up and misrepresent.
PS. I do not own Apple stock.
