What's stopping people from buying or using any other kind of phone, new or old? Or from producing one? None of what's listed here is relevant to that regard.

  Absolutely nothing. The claim that Apple has a monopoly on the smartphone market is just laughable. Android has 40% market share in the US and 70% globally.

    To reverse your statistic, Apple has 60% of mobile market share in US and Canada, meaning the whole of North America. On top of that, 87% of the teen mobile market in the US own an iPhone. Apple definitely has a dominant position in the western smartphone market.

      I keep seeing references here to the teen market and teen attitudes toward green bubbles. Should the anti-monopoly law toward a large, but globally minority market-share company hinge on the attitudes of US teenagers?

        In 10 years, teenagers will be the adult population.
