They contend an agreement between Apple and Amazon that went into effect that year restricted the number of competitive resellers in violation of antitrust provisions.

In 2018, according to the lawsuit, there were some 600 third-party Apple resellers on Amazon. Apple agreed to give Amazon a discount on its products if Amazon reduced the number of Apple resellers from its marketplace, the lawsuit alleged.

Apple has argued that its agreement with Amazon limited the number of authorized resellers to help minimize counterfeit Apple goods being sold on the e-commerce platform.

Apple is literally willing to take less money in order to charge the consumer more. Anybody who buys an Iphone at this point is just retarded.

Replace iphone with anything made by Apple and your statement is still true. They made people buy another idevice to accept the TOS on their TVs before they could be used.
