If Google has the monopoly, Apple, by definition, cannot.

  Google only has the monopoly in Android app distribution. Apple has it in iOS app distribution.

    That’s like saying Porsche has a monopoly on all red mid-engine German sports coupes. Apps run on pocket computing devices with phone and data connectivity. Two operating systems compete in that space.

      > that Google has monopoly power in the Android app distribution markets and in-app billing services markets... Your derision is misdirected. It's literally what the court case was about.

      No, that's not like that at all. Can we stop making really poor car analogies that don't actually represent the issue at hand? Regardless, at this point you're arguing against the court here. Google lost; they have a monopoly on Android app distribution. Maybe that'll get overturned on appeal, but I hope not.
