What I want to see is Apple broken up.
Split them into a hardware company, an OS company, an app store company, and an applications company, and permanently forbid those companies from collaborating or moving into new markets.

Well then I'm glad you're not in charge.
The best thing about my Mac is how well integrated the OS is with the hardware.
And from there how well the applications, which are well-integrated with the hardware, work alongside the corresponding applications on my iPhone.
Making it illegal to be successful and give customers what they want sure seems to to be a winning economy policy?
Also I have noticed this narrative increasing online. A size-able company/mega corp does something the public assumes is done with malice and the ONLY solution is to "break up" the company. I think this narrative is misguided.
Apple is not a monopoly and has not been anticompetitive by any historic or contemporary legal definition. So no, it won’t get broken up any time soon.
You might see markers get regulated (eg. Mobile app stores) but that’s not antitrust, that’s legislation.
