…..“consumers using an Apple iPhone should be able to benefit from competitive services by a range of providers,”

Hmmm….Apple has iCloud. Yet, I have access to Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and other competitive services from providers.

Apple had Apple Mail, but yet, I can access my work email as well as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and others.

Apple doesn’t have a search engine, but I’m able to use Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Startpage and others.

Apple has Music, but I also have access to Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Music, Tidal, and others.

In other words, consumers already benefit from competitive services by a range of providers…
