>> The author does not address people who are pressured to be in the Apple ecosystem (see teens & the green bubble), See women in fashion, see teens and card and clothing and Jordan's and... This is a weak argument. >>> Antitrust does not mean literal monopoly, and 57-70% share is certainly big enough to exert anti-competitive pressures, " Likewise, the Third Circuit stated that "a share significantly larger than 55% has been required to establish prima facie market power" and held that a market share between seventy-five percent and eighty percent of sales is "more than adequate to establish a prima facie case of power."

At 60 percent the DOJ's case is just over the practical limits. Its going to make the case that they seem to be wanting to present really tough. Using the watch as a form of lockin... is dumb. And the green bubbles thing is going to come up.. guess what that's about A) security and B) MMS being a 20 year old dumpster fire (the carriers not apple) ... Their tech working around the short comings of a protocol is going to be an easy argument to move them out of Market Power and into "Innovation". The DOJ has ONE very narrow case they can make... that would be around blocking of MMS/Texting alternatives. With signal no longer in the market (mms) there is going to be an argument that "there isnt a viable alternative with security first principals". I contend that the DOJ brought this case, and knows dam well its going to loose. Apple gets a day in court, wins and then every EU/china action after gets shouted down as Nationalism and anti free market by all of DC.
