Apple is not a monopoly in any sense of the word

[–] NateNate60@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't think Apple's business model fits the definition of "monopoly", but they are a different kind of anti-competitive, in my opinion. Forcing users to use your own ecosystem by forcing competitors to be shittier or nonexistent through technical means is still anti-competitive.

You're not forced to use their phones.

No, which is why I said it's not a monopoly. It's a different form of anti-consumerism.

Yeah, which is why I've never owned an iPhone. Hell, I was pretty big into Apple a while ago, but I never bought into the iOS. The OS convergence is why I completely jumped ship.
