Well they aren't a monopoly. They have what, ~50% market share?

MS had 97% market share and were abusing their market dominance to push others out. Apple isn't doing this, so there isn't a valid comparison here.

Duopoly isn't a much better comparison here. It's big enough that both apple and Google should be addressed.

Seems like there are a relatively large number of competitors to Apple and Google. Eg. Samsung, Motorola, Lenovo, OnePlus, LG, HTC etc. Not to mention Asian brands.

Duopoly might apply if those companies were using their combined dominance to collude and push other competitors out but that isn't really happening as evidenced by the amount of competitors that are in the market.

I don't think you're on the same frequency as the court proceedings here. Try to read those first to better understand the context here.

You're doing the equivalent of saying "but Dell and HP make PC's". When the case is about Internet explorer.

		You brought up the MS antitrust suite and I'm providing context as to why it's not relevant.
