And yet Microsoft is a monopoly just for including IE. Nevermind that they never stopped anyone from installing what they wanted on Windows.

Microsoft had almost the entire PC market. Apple doesn’t have over 90% in any market afaik.

>>BirAda+mg
You don't need to have 100% of a market to abuse your size with anticompetitive behavior. The judge mentioned this during the Epic v. Apple lawsuit.

>>2OEH8e+Ys
The lawsuit that Apple mostly won.

>>parasu+CE
Sure- though there was just an appeal hearing in November. The judge also warned that Apple uses anticompetitive behavior and is on the road to becoming a monopoly.

> While Apple is not considered a monopoly and did not engage in antitrust behavior on nine of ten counts, Apple’s conduct in enforcing anti-steering restrictions is anticompetitive.

> A coalition of 35 states, Microsoft, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and several other groups filed amicus briefs in support of Epic's position, arguing that Apple held a monopoly and thus that Epic should prevail in its lawsuit.
