"Apple first, users second, developers last." Thus is the Apple way.

  “Apple first” is really “shareholders first”. If apple has a choice between making the shareholders more money or making the customer happy, they will pick the shareholder almost every time.

    Pleasing shareholders vs pleasing customers isn't a zero sum game, though. Apple could probably make shareholders very happy and customers very unhappy, but they can only get away with that for a quarter or so. Their success has been in getting shareholders to be patient while they focus on the customer, and eventually the happy customers pay off for the shareholders.
