Come now. Why make up a different rule for Apple to go by, compared with 
industry in general? Any product made in a walled garden costs more than 
products made under less restricted conditions. Competition lowers price.

The fact that the faithful continue to buy Apple products is great news for 
Apple, and the faithful are happy to pay the higher price. That's as far as it 
goes.
