Looks like Apple forgot to pay off some people 😬😬😬

[midlifecars]

They don’t like that they can’t get access to their system. No one forces anyone to buy Apple. What is with this? I’m failing to see how they are a monopoly. I have owned both Apple and android. No complaints with either honesty

[jessemessy]

Why FB and GOOGLE are not getting sued?

[cjbos]

How is it a monopoly when you can just buy another brand of phone?

[OZtwo]

Wait? What ever happened to the case with Microsoft and Windows?

[bmwbryan]

Nobody is forcing you to buy an Apple though, there are plenty of other company's out there. I'm an Android BTW, people can chose whatever they want.

The DOJ hasn't done their job in over a decade now.

[kingroyaldavid]

We got bigger fish to fry, and you're going after Apple? Do your freaking job, Merrick Garland! Smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

[TheShadeManGuitar]

No they are not a monopoly, plenty of other companies to buy phones from

[philasoma]

81 million people voted for this. Let that sink in.

[georgeelliott]

Apple has a monopoly on their parts they use to repair their products. But not their phones.

[Resistence]

Now what about social media platforms, they need more regulation than Apple does

[vonstev]

BS lawsuit. In no way do they constitute a monopoly.

[GhettoPCbuilds]

RIGHT TO REPAIR, DID A PAPER ON THIS.

[BlindBiker]

This guy is ridiculous, private business knows what needs to be done, NEVER government.

[Volundur]

It's an oligopoly, as there are competitors (Samsung, predominantly).

[MrKjones]

Apple, a monopoly? Y’all bumped ya head

[St.Finger]

Apple has VIOLATED me personally for me having returned an iMAC in three days of purchase and Apple billing me for the charges encore!
My attorney marked it as "A Strong Case"!

[angel-og.]

Nothing about the Federal Reserve’s monopoly on money?? Anyone??

[marcosoliveira]

They have time go after apple but don't have time to close the border.😂😂😂😂
