AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile doesn't count as competition? (Granted, the iPhone is only officially available on two of them.)

4 choices isn't enough to result in better options for consumers when it's nearly impossible for new entrants.

Compare this with internet search where there is a clear leader (Google) but its possible to create your own search engine (DuckDuckGo) without fear of being arrested for violating some regulation designed by the incumbents and enforced by the government.
