There's a big difference. It's not actually worth $11k to Apple. They don't actually want all the details out there yet (probably. I could see some of their leaks being intentional ways to get people to hold out for summer and not buy Android phones now), but they didn't directly lose $11k by losing the iPhone.

It's the secrecy, Apple is obsessed with it. This is the company that announced everything about the iPad months ahead of time but wouldn't even let Apple Store staff use it once until the day of launch. It's useful to a point, but they have taken it way over the edge.
