Please. Apple makes decent products, but I'm not aware of a single market they dominate. Microsoft (still) dominates laptops and desktops, Linux (still) dominates servers, and while Apple enjoyed a brief period of dominance in the US smartphone (but not overall mobile phone) market, they dont dominate that either now (and the in the international market, they are borderline irrelevant).
Apple is an influential but marketshare minor player in consumer electronics.
