I am not sure what can be classified as monopoly as it's pretty subjective. Is Tesla a monopoly in EV Cars ( or cars in general). I used to kinda anti apple but realized that post switching to iPhone 5, never went back tbh. Same with Mac and iPAD. It's certainly a better ecosystem but that's what MOAT is. Companies spend $$$ to build the MOAT. If a company can build a better product, they deserve to be on top.

I however have another issue with Apple with Apple Package. They discourage smaller carriers to work with them. To explain further - Apple don't allow iMessage, FaceTime, Visual Voice mail if you don't commit to buying a specific amount of devices. This kills smaller businesses. It's like Coca Cola not selling you their product if you're not walmart. You'll not become Walmart till you sell products but you're not allowed to get access to products that big retailers have. I think the case is positioned in a way that Apple should win
