I can't change that, but I can continue to point out the fault (from the consumer perspective) in that way of doing business.
You're free to fault, of course. Just seems that Apple customers are happy with what they're paying for.

As I mentioned, I'm not a techie and I buy ease of use. If any other companies can go Apple better, I will buy. (I'm not willing to stand in line to buy anything, though, lol.)
