Unless they reverse their course themselves, it's only a matter of time before they're deservedly hit with antitrust.

Antitrust with 13% market share. Good luck explaining that one to the judge.

Around 50% in the US.

The real issue is that Apple has control over its devices after sale. That it decides what they can and cannot run based on its own arbitrary rules that no one can challenge. That it can literally put other companies out of business by denying them the privilege of having an iOS app.

And something like 60-75% app store dollar-share in the US.

"Apple controls 100% of the iOS software market. This antitrust case is not about phones, instead it's about iOS software, and we shall demonstrate very clearly how Apple are abusing their total monopoly on that particular product."

That was really easy, and I'm not even a lawyer.

It shows, that you are not a lawyer.

I didn't charge $600 for that post so obviously I'm not.

I've seen this comment repeatedly on this site. Presumably the posters making it don't actually believe we have a world government that rules over all countries, yet they keep making the assumption antitrust rulings happen over world market share.
