There's lots of stuff like enforcing WebKit for browsers, iCloud for background cloud syncing, subscription disadvantages (end trial for competitor = end of period, end trial for Apple = now), giving their 1st party native apps advantageous functionality competitors can't (yet), etc.

There's also general gatekeeping of their developer tools which restricticts ports of software, and not following standards properly (USBc, sms).
