Into what? I'd be interested in that. Really depends on the granularity of the break up. If it's just iPhone company + mac company + smartwatch company + chip company + ... , then it'll still have the iPhone as it's core money maker. Breaking it up into a payment processor, app store, and other stuff to make the iPhone a more open device, maybe that'd help.
In any case, about time the US actually steps into the ring.

Separating software and hardware would be a good start. Though that may be a big ask as that's been Apple's schtick from the start. But seeing as it's a big part of Apple's anticompetitive practices, not outrageous.
