The competition to which you refer, in this context was proven in the court of law to have infriged on Apple's copyrights. Thus the suit. Apple allows plently of competition when they aren't blatently stealing.
Both the UK and German courts said no to Apple trying to ban Samsung products. Only in the USA where Apple can manage to patent anything ridiculous are they gaining some traction with their injunctions. If you manage to patent so much that no one else can make another phone or tablet it speaks again about them wanting to totally obliterate the competition. The fact that they are allowed to do so is another, separate issue but what Apple is pulling isn't anything near being content.
