Just because they took too long to look at a problem, does not stop something else from being a problem.
replyReally? What would you estimate is Apple's market share of iPhone apps if it's so far below 95%?
replyWe both know that the market share refers to the smartphone market share of which Apple has about 21%.
replyFor iPhone apps Apple is way behind with about 0.005% of the total 2.17 million iPhone apps.
The ONLY interesting market share here isn't how many apps Apple create, or how large share of the smartphones they have. It's how much of the distribution of apps they control on iOS (which easily reaches the bar of being a market in itself).
replyI.e. the monopoly question is: if apple takes X% for each app in this market, and a competitor can't take less, then it's a monopoly.
