"Justify"? WTF? On what moral basis are you condemning Apple? Is this Aristotelian ethics? Medieval European ethics? Kantian deontology? I'm a modern consequentialist. I don't give a shit about "justification". Apple gets away with it because the power dynamics work out in such a way that they get away with it. If you want my moral argument, I argue that we should guillotine the super-rich, redistribute their wealth, tap the knowledge and expertise of the social sciences to rehabilitate the Earth, and create a technocratic Star Trek utopia. In that world, Apple will not even care to overcharge for their adapters because capitalism will be at the service of humanity's quality of life rather than vice versa.
