I'm not an antitrust lawyer, but I suspect the fact that Android exists makes iPhone not a monopoly.

AT&T owned the phone lines and the equipment, leading to that problem. So if Apple went and bought all of the cell service providers and said "You're only allowed to use iPhones" that would be similar, and they would probably cease to exist relatively quickly.
