In any case, it has been harder and harder to advocate for any Apple products over the years. Funnily enough, once you are outside the marketing hype, you realised that most of their products are not very competitive for their price. I think they are trying to milk the silicon while they can because it is really the only As up their sleeve currently. When that advantage is gone, they will be in trouble and they know it.

Of course, neither does Dell, Lenovo or HP. Or especially Google for that matter (at least in that case Apple's and their customers interests somewhat align since they aren't making money by selling their data to third parties).
