The way to hit Apple with antitrust is to break off the App Stores themselves, since that's the point of monopolization.
Make Apple's apps all operate by exactly the same rules as everyone else's—including rules governing private APIs.
Make the formerly-Apple App Store compete with other App Stores in a similar way to what they've introduced in the EU, but on a more even footing.
Personally, I'm still not entirely sold on this being a good idea—but IMO it's the one way of breaking up Apple that actually makes any sense.
