You know what, you can buy an Android phone, is unlocked and supports two sim cards (so it works on almost all networks), has a six-core processor (ad claims 10 but I verified its only six), has 8G of ram and 128GB of flash, can support a 256GB mini-sd card. Can use built-in mic and speaker or plug in headet or use bluetooth. What would this cost in an iPhone? Probably over $1000 (in addition to requiring a (usually expensive) 3-year contract since Apple gets a kickback from the carrier). Did I mention it's actually a 10.1" tablet, and costs under $54 including shipping on Amazon? I know, because I bought one a few weeks ago.
There is no reason to buy Apple's overpriced crap where they pull stunts like this. If Apple had been honest and told people what they were doing (presuming the reason wasn't a pretext) - and if they hadn't been dishonest in making the battery not user replaceable - they wouldn't have gotten this slap on the wrist. (To them, $25 mil is chump change; Apple probably has enough money to buy France.)
