Wow, I'd love to see some of your citations for (1). If anything, their aggressive supply chain management has helped drive down prices for things like capacitative touch screens, NAND flash, hi-dpi LCDs, etc.
Last week, I ordered some parts for a new workstation - a high-end Ivy Bridge i5, 256gig SSD, 16GB RAM, etc for ~600. How much did I overpay because Apple "reversed the commoditization" of PC hardware?

That also has a bit more to do with Intel/Microsoft threatening/bribing manufacturers, but even without that the manufacturers don't like dealing with that low-end sector.
