Monopoly means one company controlling the market and being able to set their own prices. Apple is not able to do that. It's obviously aimed at a higher segment than most other phone companies, but it is in no way controlling the price of mobile phones. So if that's your only reason, you're dead wrong.
Anyway, I refuse to pay 300+ bucks for something I can't even work with, my text skills are crappy and everyone I know has one, so I don't need one.
The main reason I call them a monopoly is because they can get away with selling phones and products at such high prices. And they get away with it because you can't pick up an iPhone or iPod anywhere but an apple store.
