If iOS was the only mobile OS out there, then you might have a point. But there's not. There's a decent amount of competition out there.

- Fej 10y agoIt's a duopoly. I wish it were better but there isn't much choice anymore for consumer smartphones. Windows Phone is dead (even if its market share is >1%, I believe the project has been abandoned) and BlackBerry OS is hanging on but holds a trivial share of the market.
- NEDM64 10y agoThere's Amazon besides Microsoft. Duopoly? No, more like Apple and Google are the only good companies out there. And that didn't came from anti-competitive behaviors, but from HARD WORK. Things like Google Maps and Apple Stores are cold hard work that are really meaningful for people's quality of life. Amazon and others don't give any of this to the consumer, that's the reason nobody wants to go with their platforms.
- cloudjacker 10y agoI read this comment and the other ones, and it is interesting how you guys collectively think that being a monopoly is a prerequisite for an antitrust violation, and decided to debate the existence of a monopoly or not, instead of an actual antitrust issue lol I wonder if this is also a reflection on broader society too because it is very very inaccurate.
