> isn't at all because of Apple or the competitor and doesn't have anything to do with their practices.

Can you buy the display from a supplier that supplies Apple and put together your own phone? No, they have exclusive agreement with apple.

Their anticompetitive practices Make It incredibly difficult and complex to put together a device. That's the whole point!

Is the assertion that Apple's supposed monopoly is because they have exclusive agreements on their hardware?
I think you could buy an OLED display from Samsung if you wanted.
Exclusive agreements are legal.
Not if you are a dominant company.
