We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

Apple Pay is taken at a small percentage of merchants. It's not taken at major retailers like Walmart, Kroger, CVS, etc.

Aren't a majority of computers currently in use in America PC's? Hard to call Apple a monopoly when their product doesn't even make up a majority of the industry.

Apple doesn't have a monopoly. Especially not in the mobile market. Android devices account for 84% of all smartphone sales worldwide, and even that isn't a monopoly, because Android is just an open source operating system used by dozens of different smartphone manufacturers.
Apple has a monopoly only if you consider a monopoly as being the use of their own operating system as a monopoly on Apple products.
