This is a good time to point out that there is nothing wrong with, and it not illegal to be, a monopoly.
It is illegal to abuse powers of monopoly, but Apple only controls their own mobile ecosystem, not an entire market or industry. Claiming Apple is a monopoly here is like claiming GM is a monopoly on GM's.
If there were 6 companies making iPhone compatible phones, there would be issues here, undoubtedly. But there isn't.
