"monopoly over apple devices" doesn't equal illegal monopoly.
So, I don't think there's a legal issue at all, especially since Android exists and is doing well.

Now that Apple OS for desktops/laptops is more widely used and Microsoft doesn't have complete control of the OS market, could Microsoft start charging software makers that wanted to provide content on a Windows machine?
It's Microsoft's OS. The reason that they got in trouble is that they unfairly used their market position to kick competitors (Lotus, Netscape, Novell) out. I doubt it would be illegal if they decided to charge everyone equally based on either units shipped or royalty.
