The title is incorrect and misleading: the FTC has no problem with smartphone prices, they have only filed an antitrust suit against Qualcomm for taking advantage "of a non-competitive marketplace to overcharge Apple and other smartphone makers for use of its chips, technology, and intellectual property". Furthermore, the article says that 2018 iPhones were not made with Qualcomm chips, meaning that Qualcomm's chip pricing is not the cause of high smartphone prices at all.
