All companies by simply reaching a certain scale and size -- are just by default becoming a monopoly. Since Apple is the biggest company in the world it's inescapable they will face these accusations even if they fairly earned their way in to this position the right thing is to still stop them because a monopoly is always a bad thing for consumers.
- ddtaylor 3y agoHow does that excuse any of their anticompetitive CHOICES they continue to make? I don't understand how your comment affords Apple anything.
- stavros 3y ago> All companies by simply reaching a certain scale and size -- are just by default becoming a monopoly. This statement can be reworded as "the companies that are big enough to be monopolies are monopolies". Not all companies are monopolies just by their size. Microsoft is the biggest company in the world (not Apple), and it's not a monopoly in everything it sells. It may be a monopoly in some areas, because of its tactics, but the same goes for Apple: if they open up the app store, like the EU wants them to, they'll no longer be a monopoly, even though they'll be exactly the same size.
