Apple rejects Valve’s Steam Link game streaming app over ‘business conflicts’

The argument on both sides is around financial burden:

* Pay more for delivery because not using Amazon Prime

* Pay more to buy an Android phone

When making this argument it's obvious that buying a new phone is much more expensive than Amazon Prime but this raises an interesting question; what is the financial threshold at which point one has to be considered a monopoly?

Most people shop on multiple websites, most people don't carry around two phones.

Most people also don't pay for a subscription service that gives you cheaper prices. If you look specifically at Prime subscribers, I bet you'd find that they make efforts to do all their shopping through Amazon where possible.

In this context, the Phone is supposed to be on the same network for latency reasons. Having multiple phones at home is not a big issue.
