Who are you to tell Apple how to set their prices? Apple is an American company and we have free markets here. Price controls on luxury goods are completely against free market capitalism. If you don't like it, don't buy an iPhone. Good luck finding a better smart phone experience.

Well, I'm a customer and I can bitch and moan about their behavior all I want. How else will they improve if their customers don't have any complaints?

But again, we see the "love it or leave it" attitude. As in, you have no right to criticize the cherished totem that I have invested a huge portion of my self into.

You work for Google and have the nerve to call a diatribe about Apple's profit margins a legitimate complaint? Cool. Well Google should charge less for advertising because they make too much money off ad clicks!
