Absolutely nothing. The claim that Apple has a monopoly on the smartphone market is just laughable. Android has 40% market share in the US and 70% globally.

To reverse your statistic, Apple has 60% of mobile market share in US and Canada, meaning the whole of North America.

On top of that, 87% of the teen mobile market in the US own an iPhone.

Apple definitely has a dominant position in the western smartphone market.

I keep seeing references here to the teen market and teen attitudes toward green bubbles. Should the anti-monopoly law toward a large, but globally minority market-share company hinge on the attitudes of US teenagers?

In 10 years, teenagers will be the adult population.
