This isn't a free market. A free market would be that the user purchases the device and that they are free to do whatever they want with what they own, including installing third party stores.

- freediver 5y agoWhether Apple is a monopoly that is still to be determined and entirely different discussion. If it is it would have much bigger problems that the one discussed here. This discussion is about where Apple as a private company has a right to charge 30% for the distribution on its platform and I argue that it has every right to do so.
