Getting short-term compliance is the easy part. But the hard part is calculating how this changes the business incentives of a company and how they adapt to this compliance over time.
What orders did Microsoft follow in specific, what are you referring about? Let's see how this has actually impacted their business today.
Stop making their high margin hardware that integrates into paid Apple services? The same phone that works with other massively popular Apple hardware, such as Air Pods? Extremely doubtful.
Apple will not cut off their nose to spite their face.
Maybe you have less faith in Apple than I do. I believe they can succeed enormously without their monopoly. They make great products. Microsoft managed just fine (look at their market cap!)
edit: I'm confused. Are the downvotes from Apple fans that think the hardware sucks without the monopoly? And that Apple can't survive without it?
