I don't understand how Apple can be a monopoly if there are other viable choices for smartphones. Are people just bitter about apple or is there some corrupt financial play behind the scenes?
There's lots of stuff like enforcing WebKit for browsers, iCloud for background cloud syncing, subscription disadvantages (end trial for competitor = end of period, end trial for Apple = now), giving their 1st party native apps advantageous functionality competitors can't (yet), etc.
This is a working list, I'll be back
There's also general gatekeeping of their developer tools which restricticts ports of software, and not following standards properly (USBc, sms).
