the problem here, is that they make SO MUCH MONEY that offering a (truely) low end model, or making any drastic changes is a great risk to their bottom line

And remembering the lessons of "The Innovators Dilemma", this strikes me as a potentially dangerous place for Apple to be in. (A company should always try to disrupt their own industry... instead of others doing it for them.)

You took the wrong lesson home. Disruption isn't "low-cost" same product category. Disruption is totally new product category that obviates old category. Between iPods -> iPhones, Macs -> iPads, I'm not worried about Apple being scared to take these leaps as long as they get to own the profit margins.
