- dismalaf 2y agoApple has majority share in the US.
- AnthonyMouse 2y agoYou're conflating two different markets. Apple has less than 100% market share for phones. Apps and phone accessories are not phones, they're separate products made by separate entities. If Apple phones and Android phones were compatible then the apps would be addressing the same market. For example, phones from Samsung and phones from Xiaomi both run the same apps, so they're in the same market. However, phones from Apple and phones from Samsung do not run the same apps. They're different markets. And Apple has a monopoly on the former.

- hyperbovine 2y agoSome other companies with similar market share: - Coca Cola - DoorDash - Adobe - Tesla - Canon digital cameras I guess we should break all them up too.
- int_19h 2y agoIf they abuse their market dominance, we absolutely should.
- hyperbovine 2y agoPlease precisely quantify how none of these companies do that except Apple.
- int_19h 2y agoI didn't say that none of them do.
- jobs_throwaway 2y agoIf they start acting anti-competitively, we 100% should break them up
