Couching your ideas and arguments behind a "majority" will win you no love from me. The majority, are retarded. For me, Apple is 100% irrelevant and they always have been which is why using the word "monopoly" just doesn't make any sort of sense. How have I been using non-apple phones and computers my entire life if they have a monopoly?
That's a strange way of saying that Apple should not abuse its market position to squeeze even more profits out of customers and other companies.
Apple should do whatever the fuck it wants and I'm not going to cheer for more central planning and economic interventionism. If you have slaved yourself to their awful products I...hope you enjoy it? As much as I disagree with buying their trash, I'm glad people are free to make that choice.

Same reason Microsoft had a monopoly even though Apple, Linux and UNIX existed. Both the Apple Store and the Google App store are monopolies, pushed by the companies on phones.

Looks like it will take more beatings and abuse of power by these tech companies before people come to any sort of realization.

Just because the Government says it's a monopoly, doesn't mean I agree at all. Microsoft never had a monopoly, there were ALWAYS other choices. You can call these app stores monopolies all you want, I'll be happily downloading things from https://www.f-droid.org/, a free alternative. I don't remotely see whatever monopoly you claim exists.

What beatings?! Using Apple is 100% voluntary. Nothing Apple has done has ever impacted me in anyway. The only "beatings" I see are equivalent to this activity:

How absurd. Microsoft dominated the market, and abused its position to try to hook people on its other products. This sort of dogmatic nonsense is why people allege that the right hates government boot, but loves corporate boot.

Great! And how many other people have even the technical know-how to go and jailbreak their iPhone and download apps in a way that open ups their phone to even more viruses and malware than otherwise?

This is seriously delusional. It's like saying that Twitter has not impacted you, even though these companies wield immense power over who is allowed to say what.
Isnt' a majority of phones sold in the US made by Apple?

Meaning a bunch of blind people whipping themselves all by their own choices. Such horrible "beatings".
