Really?

Didn't US have a mail service at that time?

I think that is an alternative "platform" for communication (just like Android to Apple), a bit of a stretch but not much.

Are you really comparing using a phone vs mail, to using iOS vs Android, or any other phone out on the market?

I'm showing that argument that iOS AppStore is not a monopoly because "If you don't like closed iPhone you can buy Android" is ridiculous.

Of course you have alternative hardware+os that you can use, just like in case of telephony you had alternative hardware (paper) that you could use, which didn't stop US goverment to split AT&T up.

What can’t I do as efficiently on an Android device that I can do on an iPhone?
