But how can you argue this about Apple? They're incredible innovators, they deliver great products that consumers love and the prices of those products generally fall over time.
While Apple may be incredible innovators, they have also setup a marketplace to allow others to innovate. This marketplace is the only place you can get software from (I don't speak for jailbroken phones, which void the warranty). As the ones controlling and participating in the marketplace, they have an extremely unfair advantage if they prevent others from selling products Apple also want to sell.
This is anti-competitive, and the reason I believe they need to be careful before someone tries to put together an Anti-Trust case for them to answer.
