That's true of all the big tech firms (Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook). Anti-Trust has been redefined as any large corporation with deep pockets that politicians think they can extract money from.

Apple is likely the least close to Anti-trust in the original idea of the term, in that they don't have a huge share of any broad market. They go after profit margin over market share. What Apple is really trying to do is establish an eco-system that their customers never have to step out of. It can be pretty effective.
