I get hung up in the semantics of monopoly. I don't think it really applies here because Android exists. But if we frame this as an anti-competitive question I think it is very clear Apple's practices are anti-competitive.

I'm not a fan of diluting the term "monopoly", I think we need modern laws to encourage competition. Maybe I just need to get over my pedantry.




Android lets you install apps from any site without hassle.

And those apps can charge you money without giving Google a single dime.


Sure but does that mean Apple's actions are not anti-competitive?
