Where's the anti-trust investigation over this?

Over what? You can use any Bluetooth head phones you want with your iPhone. I like the Jaybird X3s for running.

Apple also doesn't have a monopoly share, I have many friends who actually prefer Android and don't care that iPhones no longer have a headphone jack.

Anti-trust "prohibits a variety of practices that restrain trade". I don't see how it does that, especially given that they bundle a headphone adapter with the phone.

But Apple has a minority share in this market.

But they are a major player in smartphone market that they use to leverage themselves into this market. Similar to Microsoft (majority in OS) bundling browsers and media players.

They have less than 50% of market share, so no.

MS had almost 98% of desktop/work OS share (Linux was in its infancy then -- and is not used much for desktop even now--, and OS 8/9 had dropped to insignificant share).

They have the 2nd/3rd biggest share (and not like the first one has over 50% either). Sounds major to me.
