One of the conditions of the apple app store, the single entry to any customer's smartphone, is that you don't directly compete with any apple app.

What more do you really need to know ? If this isn't abuse of monopoly power, then what is ?

Have you not seen google maps, amazon's kindle app, the many weather and stock apps, Instagram for taking and sharing photos? I can't think of a native app that doesn't have competition.
