We don't have a monopoly on one class of device, we have monopolies on five different classes of device. That's definitely different and better!

Better for us!

Hey, be fair, it’s only a monopoly on four out of the five classes.

This is a fairly fundamental misunderstanding of anything related to monopoly or anti-trust law. Maybe, maybe the iPhone, and even then it's a stretch. edit: at least in the US.
