I know its a small thing, but isn't the phrase "an iPhone monopoly" a bit redundant ?

I surely can't say shame on Mars for having a "A CocaCola monopoly" ?

From established writers at NYT, I suspect I am wrong, but it seems a weird expression.



I don't believe it is. I think we'd be upset if Tesla cars could only charge at Telsa charger (that charged 30% over the prices of electric supply). Using their position in phone sales to gain a monopolist position over apps and IAP feels wrong.


From established writers who are, perhaps, first solving for clicks rather than accuracy or journalistic integrity.
