What is this real Apple you speak of?
The beige box days when they offered products that competed against their own products?
No, Apple that changed that beige box into everything we have today...
I would hate to see the comeback of that beige box, but I am afraid we will not have a box of any color to speak of if the iThings will have absolute preference by Apple.
I understand that it brings most of the revenue, and that they are great products, hell, I love my iPod, iPhone and iPad, but never forget the people who were the most loyal... computer people... It will hurt you at some point in time.
