If they actually were selling products at a loss to put competitors out of business, that would be considered predatory pricing. Imagine Apple using their iPhone profits to sell MacBooks for $200 - it would distort the market and eliminate competition. It might be good for consumers in the short run, but much worse when they were the only game left in town.
