Copyright on macOS, and patents makes Apple phones the products of a company with a legal monopoly. Are they an illegal monopoly in the US? Well, that's trickier. There are several reasons for and against. There are lots of phone brands, hundreds worldwide depending on how you count, and Apple are the are the largest phone and tablet brand with almost 50% of the US market. Only Samsung is even close when it comes to phones, but afaik they have nowhere near the same profit margins. Whether they are monopolistic or not, both Apple and Google has shown clear monopolistic behavior regarding their respective app stores, with Apple seemingly the more egregious. |
