Yes, Apple products are not hand-crafted by gnomes, but they do represent a set of priorities that are rare in the world of manufacturing. I think it is more than a marketing gimmick; there is truly a desire to produce a quality product rather than only maximizing profit. I'm sure there were many times where Jobs vetoed a design decision where a little money could be saved at the expense of quality. I hope that the future leadership of Apple continues to have that courage.
