Apple definitely does not want bad reviews on their iPads because the VMs they are selling are crashing more often than their other offerings. Any product Apple sells for actual $ would have meet Apple’s standards of support and customer service, or they would be deteriorating their Goodwill. Except their charging cables. Apple actively trades goodwill for those margins.

    I agree. But this has nothing to do with Macs crashing more often.

Think Microsoft CAL (client access license) paper entitlements. Or papal certificates of indulgence, https://theconversation.com/the-catholic-view-on-indulgences-and-how-they-work-today-193066 https://theconversation.com/the-catholic-view-on-indulgences... Software margins with iPad-as-DRM-dongle, investors would rejoice! Broadcom and Qualcomm would be envious.
