This is an attempt to redefine the word "monopoly".
"What’s next sue McDonald’s for having a monopoly on Big Macs."
Exactly. Why not sue Apple for having a monopoly on Macs? Why not sue Harley-Davidson for having a "monopoly" on Sportsters?
You CAN'T have a "monopoly" on your own product. You CAN'T be a "monopoly" with 55% of a market in the U.S. and 25% globally.
Monopolies exist in markets, not individual products. There are PLENTY of choices besides Apple.
"It would also set a dangerous precedent, empowering government to take a heavy hand in designing people’s technology."
It would be a VERY dangerous precedent, for all companies everywhere.
AGAIN, U.S. anti-trust laws are in place to protects consumers. Not competitors. If people did not like Apple, no one would buy the products. Apple is hugely successful BECAUSE of the products.
