The EU's new antitrust investigation [1] might be close enough to a monopoly suit, just likely to be slower and more drawn out. It had the desired effect against Internet Explorer though last time around, I guess.
Relevant quote from investigation announcement: "The investigations concern in particular the mandatory use of Apple's own proprietary in-app purchase system and restrictions on the ability of developers to inform iPhone and iPad users of alternative cheaper purchasing possibilities outside of apps."
