> The App Store was ruled in court not to be a monopoly.

What the court actually ruled was that Epic didn't make a good enough case.

Also, what the court said is that Apple does have "considerable market share of over 55%", but was not demonstrated to be an "illegal monopolist".

Which sounds to me like they were declared to be a monopoly, even without getting into related scenarios that are commonly lumped under "monopoly".

> Apple sells tools and parts to anyone who wants them, so it’s not really clear what you are talking about when it comes to repair.

What? They have a strong history of not doing that in recent years.

Weird read. They were declared to have just over half the market and not be a monopolist.

You choose to read that as then being declared to be a monopoly.

This does provide helpful insight into why so many people seem to claim apple is a monopoly.
