> How can Apple be targeted for monopolistic behavior?
Because they don't even allow other browser engines on their iOS platform, which is explicitly what was the subject of the "ballot box" ruling.
Monopolies are per-product class. Apple is responsible for both the hardware and the software. All it takes is having one of their products own half of its market.
… which, of course, could take a long time. It did happen for tablets circa 2011, I believe.
