Kroger next 👏👏

It depends how close you sit to your TV and how large the TV is. I can tell a difference if I’m close enough or if the screen is large enough. As well, try turning on a streamed 1080p show and using a 4k bluray (if you have all of thrsr things). When you stand close (like, closer than you’d watch), you can really see the difference. As you back away, it becomes less noticeable, but even at comfortable viewing distances people can see the difference

You can see an example on your phone. Try watching a video in 1080p and then 480p. You should notice a difference, even if you hold your phone a foot from your face it’s the same idea when watching on a tv.

You might be confusing monopoly with majority. A majority is >50%. There’s no exact percentage for colloquial “monopoly,” but it usually means the only player. For example, if your only Internet service provider is Comcast, they are a monopoly in your area.

Under this definition, apple isn’t a monopoly because you can also use Samsung, Google, etc. cellphones.

However, in US law, a firm may be able to exercise monopoly power (that is, to be able to raise prices without so many customers moving to competitors that the price-raiser loses money (basically)). This is different in different fields and sectors, but caselaw has developed some guidelines for assumptions about being able to exercise monopoly power.

I believe it is something like a company with >75% market share is presumed to be able to exercise monopoly power. Since, according to the article, Apple has less than this, they are arguing that they cannot exercise monopoly power and are therefore not a monopoly.

However, that percentage is not the end of the analysis. The presumption of being able to exercise monopoly power is weaker below 75%, but evidence can still be used to demonstrate apple does indeed have this power (or, without enough evidence, that they do not).

Based on this alone, it seems like apple will not be able to get the case dismissed and that it will need to go into deeper analysis and factfinding to figure out if apple really is a monopoly.

Hope this helps :)
