Also, just because one part of the business is a monopoly doesn’t mean that other parts of their business are monopolies.

If Apple's policies in regard to iOS (not a monopoly) leads to competitors of iTunes (arguably a monopoly) going out of business, that fits into the jurisdiction of the DOJ. It's not hard to see that had companies like Rhapsody and Rdio been kicked off of iOS, they might not have been able to sustain a business on the other platforms alone (not to mention that the other platforms could do the same thing). I think it's crazy to say this possibility isn't part of the reversal.
