The marketshare definition of a monopoly is poor and obsolete. How much control they have over your devices and your life is much more descriptive, and in that case Apple has significant power with control over roughly half of the mobile ecosystem.


But it's not very hard for me to just go buy a different phone if I'm unhappy with what Apple is doing with the iPhone.


You only have 2 choices, iOS or Android. How about we have more accountability for the 2 trillion dollar company instead of telling consumers to just deal with it?


Okay, but what does that have to do with Apples supposed monopoly? The fact remains that it is extremely easy to ditch all Apple products.

The same can't be said about Google or Amazon.
