Eh I can think of many areas where Apple is behind its competitors pretty handily. Samsung has more advanced display tech, for example (OLED, integrated touch, polarizer-free, etc.)

Which is the exact same display in my iPhone, made by Samsung.

Usually the areas where Apple are behind are for simple reasons:

Competitor is using new unproven tech. Apple decided to wait.

Apple can't use new tech due to supply constraint (new tech supplier can't make enough to supply Apple).

Apple decided that new tech doesn't offer enough competitive advantage vs profit made selling old tech (720p camera vs 1080p camera).

Remember those days when you cannot have a larger screen … steve sometimes is a double edge sword.

Whilst the party lasted for apple it can buy the world. But would it last. We have to see. Hence saying it is a monopoly is totally off.
