Also, as it pertains to Steve Job spinning in his grave I think that is just a ridiculous thing to say. You assume that Steve would never have done anything like this and I will point out that you are wrong. Again, the eMac is a perfect example of this, not to mention the continuing iPhone upgrade trend. Every new iPhone release one of the prior models is downrated in both storage capacity and price (3GS down to 8GB, sold for $99, 4 down to 8Gb, sold for $49, etc). Further, people who like to act as if they know what Steve would have done seem to forget one thing; his passing was not that long ago and Tim Cook was basically running things for a couple years before Steve passed on. It is almost a certainty that we have yet to see a single product that Steve didn't know about and bless. The entire company roadmap has been laid out for years. Apple is not a reactionary company, they are trend-setters, they push the industry (at least from a planning/strategy standpoint). I would not be so presumptuous as to assume I knew Steve Jobs, and I worked for Apple under his tenure and have actually met him and spoke to him about Apple and its future. I would say that Steve's hand-picked successor knew him and his intentions better than any of us. Further, we all are going to have to accept that Steve is gone. What he would or would not have done is irrelevant at this point. But I personally think Tim Cook is carrying on his legacy quite well. I also applaud the fact that he is doing so as Tim Cook, and not Steve 2.0.
