Hmm, I'm not sure about that. In the US maybe, but as the stats in the other thread show, I'm sure they wish they had a larger, more lucrative slice of the pie in other countries, and especially in China.
While you're right in that Apple's model needs 'sufficient' rather than 'cutting edge' specs across the board, there are some areas where they will want to avoid being seen as falling behind.
