Hi,
To start off apple would be classed as a monopoly due to CMA definition of having more than 25% market share, bearing this is mind:
Downsides for consumers:
-Apple has such a big market share it can become x-inefficient and this increase in costs is passed to consumers
-Apple aims to maximise profits, and can make supernormal profit in the long run so continue to keep prices high
Positives for consumer:
-Apple having such a large market share, means that they can make more profit which can be reinvested and make products better with more features
-Apple in a bid to want to keep market share and not lose some to other firms like huawei might drop prices
Hope this helps
