Only an Apple customer could be happy at such news. A normal person would think they are getting the shaft.
to me that tells me that Apple is really ripping off its users by using cheaper parts and selling lower powered phones for huge profit.
Now apple only having 1 basic phone design really helps in savings as they only have 1 line to really deal with but still they sure as hell are not passing on the savings to us. Instead they just try to rip us off more.
high satisfaction does not mean that they are not ripping off the users.

Apple uses long cycles of its single phone to make huge profit. By the end of its life it is safe to say they are making a killings off every phone. To bad Apple does not pass on those savings.
Basically to get iOS Apple is forcing you to pay a tax for it. This is a classic example of why there is what is known as the Apple Tax.
Minus the fact that they are making tons of profit off of them. Just look at HTC. Android put them on the map and their profit amount as jumped a lot.

I don't get how you came to this conclusion.
The rise of the smart phone over the feature (or "dumb") phone is annoying to me for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, I have no interest in having a data plan. It's way to expensive when I live in a world where I have access to wifi the vast majority of the time. Now, if they would allow me to treat a data plan much the same way I do with my iPad 3G, only buying it when I have an actual need for it, I might consider it.
Second, I'm not that big a fan of the form factor. I like my small, compact feature phone. If a company were to try to make a compact smart phone, I know they'd run into screen size UI issues. So, instead they have phones that are fairly bulky to provide a good smart phone UI experience, but they lose some of the simple good phone experience.
Because of the profit issue, I have seen a growing derth of good feature phones on the market. My current phone I'm quite fond of. Unfortunately, if anything haooens to it I'm out of luck. I've checked recently, and it seems that it is no longer available, and this is a phone that was introduced just two years ago. The new replacement model for it is . . . wait for it . . . a smart phone.

I hope you feel the same about Exxon.
Another case of Apple's timeless designs.
Now re-read your post. See what you're doing?

I think Samsung, HTC and others are still clueless to this. Design matters, and take the Razr by Motorola as an example. Unlike the Razr, where Motorola fails to innovate after the first launch, Apple continues to innovate. There is lots to say about design and aesthetics.

So you are saying normal people want the companies whose products they buy to be failures?
I guess that is why most normal people are in turn failures.
If a company makes good products and supports them well, I want them to be hyper succesful so they can keep doing the same. Apple is the blueprint for why this model works in spades.
I think they simply have no taste. They might stumble upon a Razr now and again, but then they will be just as proud as a Rokr and scratch their heads why the public doesn't respond. They simply have no clue. Their successes are almost random luck.

And your pockets are being picked clean.
