Apple has consistently proven they don't give a crap about their customers or anyone else. Look at the FCPX debacle, they don't like to admit even to their loyal customers that their "vision" may be wrong. It's taken a year and now they are starting to put back the features that their visionary team said nobody wanted. They have all the answers, just ask anyone who pays the "Apple Tax" on every product they make. You can't even reason with them. No one hears you at that company. You can take the proprietary connector and proprietary screws and shove them up their ass. The Apple ][ was an open platform where the user could add components like memory and special function cards themselves. Then the jack-booted genius says let's make the Macintosh and let's seal it up so only authorized Apple stores can open them or do a simple thing like add ram which most any other computer user can do in minutes themselves. When you have choices the prices reflect the market, when you only have one source and it's Apple you have GREED. I was just sent a iPhone application via a developer to check out (Ok I do have an iPhone 5) Turns out it fixes a problem that was introduced with the iPhone 5. I checked it out and it fixes it perfectly and I told them that. Now they tell me that it was in review for 3 months and then rejected because it cast a light on a Apple flaw they they refuse to admit. They app was Free, but the customers with iPhone 5's will never get a chance to get the fix. If Apple can't control it then they try and kill it or suck the last dime out of them.
