I think the legal question should be from the consumer perspective similar to purchased movies: Do I buy an apple device or am I renting it? (note: I'm not trying to answer it) Buying a product suggests to end users a specific set of benefits. If the assumption is far from usual we might have to stop describing the transaction as a purchase. For example: There are no apps for the iphone4 available in the store while they certainly exist. Perhaps its fair to ask: Why is there no support for android apps on iphones?
