Exactly. Google isn't blocking other browsers, so the analogy is flawed. Apple is forcing iTunes to be pre-installed, so they are using their dominance on the iPhone to push many other services.

Correct, but Apple doesn't have an overwhelming market majority, so under antitrust laws it isn't capable of inhibiting competition.

going from the actual ruling against microsoft, that ruling was microsoft had a monopoly on Intel base computers and not computers in general. Apple has an even larger monopoly on A9, A10, A11 based computers. in fact they have 100% monopoly for those computers
Doesn't Apple already do this with the App Store? You can't buy an iPhone with Spotify pre-installed and Apple Music can leverage its position of not having to give another company a 30% cut to undercut spotify's prices.
