I have to disagree with the statement that apple is about quality products first and money second. I believe you've confused Apple with Steve Jobs. Since his death, every decision Apple has made seems to be about money. OS changes to make their products more similar to their competition, or to benefit only new hardware. Less focus on the developer set. A new Mac Pro that is less upgeadable than previous versions. New macbooks with soldered in RAM and no expansion slots (want a RAM upgrade? Buy a new computer for 10x the cost, from us only!). I was so into Apple in 2007, when the statement was true. Now they're just the new Microsoft. The thing is, there will likely be no Apple-like competitor that comes after them. There will be thousands of smaller companies that take their sales away one abandoned niche at a time.
