Having a monopoly is not a requirement, all it takes is anti-competitive behaviour and the restriction of free trade.



I don't understand how they are being anti-competitive. They control the entire stack from hardware to software. The fact that you can write any software for their platforms is more of a privilege than a right.


They would be anti-competitive to other competing smartphone manufacturers not to developers on their own platform.
