By this logic, we should break up BlackBerry.

  It was more of a if you own an iPhone you are required to get all your apps through Apple and are charged accordingly so, reducing competition and ultimately being fleeced with pricing.

    Yes, and that's an issue, but it's basically irrelevant compared to Google, with over 2 billion users.

      Abuse is abuse.

        First things first

        Yes, but it isn't monopolistic abuse. You can always go to another phone and another ecosystem and probably get the very same apps.

        Abuse of dominant position requires dominant position.

          When you are forced to use their eco-system it makes them the dominant position by default.
          • Clubber 9y ago
            But no one is forced to use their eco-system. You can buy an Android and use their ecosystem. You can buy a Blackberry or Microsoft phone (I think) and use theirs.

    So maybe don't buy an iPhone? There are tons of alternatives, and Apple doesn't hold a majority of the market share in any country.

      Or maybe instead, we should open up the app market, so as to reduce the monopoly power over that market.
