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.

I guess that’s why Samsung, Nokia, Pixel, Razr and Schok and all the others are going out of business.................

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.

Nobody is forcing anybody to buy an Apple phone.

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.

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.

It’s interesting that Biden would go after Big Tech in an election year. Did Cook fall behind on his Dane Geld payments? Did Biden hike the 10% to 15% and Cook refused the offer?

Will other tech companies see this feral gangster government for what it really is?

So cell phone users are being strong armed into purchasing the most expensive phones in the market?

Charge Cartier selling similar items you can purchase at Tiffany’s under your antitrust laws....

The fact of the matter is, if you want to make phone calls, surf the web, use productivity tools, take picture, whatever...There are plenty of $150 phones that do all those things.

No one is making you purchase a $1000-$1500 phone....

Which smartphone maker based in the far east paid for this lawsuit, or did they all chip in?

Translation: “Apple refused to install backdoor software to allow the FBI and CIA to secretly spy on users.”
