Apple Testifies on iPhone Throttling Before Canadian Parliamentary Committee

[I7guy]

Did we just...agree on something?

Apple does everything on such a large scale that even a small percentage means a large number of absolute customers.

In this instance how many customers actually care about the “throttling” and how many don't care. My phone was allegedly being throttled but I “don’t care” that it was.

Are you kidding? Businesses are in business to make money. Of course they want to make as much money as possible. Wouldn't you and your business? And you want to call them greedy for doing what they are SUPPOSED to do? Steve Jobs wanted people to believe that it was an "experience". It was marketing. It sold phones and other devices. Businesses are indeed motivated by the user's willingness to buy their products. If not, they don't have a business. Should Apple be shot and dismembered for reaching a chord in the public so that they would buy their stuff?

I would want to make money but I am not greedy and have never been therefore, I would sell a product with a profit margin of 15% not double or even more as they do at the moment. Secondly, Apple's greed breaks any records so far. That is what shocks me. I would expect them to keep the $600-750 price tag for many years to come and not jump straight to the thousand grand.

The only way to hurt Apple is to keep your device for as long as possible. That is what I am going to do.
