I doubt you use their products or will be affected by them being altered in any way

I use a MacBook pro daily but even if I didn't major lawsuits against monopolies affect me and everyone else

Fortunately for you, this lawsuit doesn't involve the Mac.

Fortunately for the rest of us, Apple doesn't have anywhere near a monopoly in any industry, which is honestly where this case should be dismissed.

If you have to take a specific month out of the year, limit the region, and define a category as "performance" to get your numbers fudged and you still only get to 70% you're not exactly making a strong case for a monopoly.
