The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

    Passing this would destroy Apple’s entire business

    I think that is, indeed, the point.

      You think you want this, but you really don’t. If Apple is gone then Android is all that exists and THAT IS A REAL MONOPOLY.

        I never said I wanted Apple gone, nor does their exploitative and abusive business model being stopped requires them to cease to exists. Get a grip, straw men don’t look good on sidewalks, and you look like a fool when you bring one out to fight with it.
