Everything Apple (the Mac heads thread)

Would be nice if this workaround wasn't so clunky, but then Apple would find it harder to charge a premium for 64gb ipads and would lose out on itunes video sales. And a company that made $128 million a day in the last reported quarter couldn't bear to lose out on some profit, right?

What you miss out is that this is how they made that much profit per day. They had to get this thinking deep under their skin, part of them, in their blood. Now it's natural for them to squeeze every bit of profit from every bit of the supply chain and consumer relationship. You're asking them to go against their nature, for your convenience. As the scorpion would say to the frog, "it's in my nature.".
