If they’re not a monopolist then where is the antitrust violation? This cease seems very weak to me, although I am not a lawyer. Even if you believe everything Apple did that they complained about was bad for consumers (which I disagree with), that doesn’t make it illegal. Companies being s****y is not a violation of the Sherman Act. Like, printer companies charging outrageous ink prices sucks but it’s not an antitrust issue. They go on and on about all the supposedly monopolistic things Apple did but their market definition- “performance smartphones“- seems weak to me.Apple doesn't need to be a monopolist to behave with monopolistic predatory exclusionary behavior.
