Apple users are somewhat anal retentive
Good topic, I kind of thought about this idea too, it does seem quite a coincidence. It does put a dent in their reputation to be manufacturing such obviously defective goods though, that's the only thing that doesn't make me all out embrace this idea. On the other hand though, the Cult Of Apple ensures a lot of customers for whatever they put out.

Something else I find interesting is the whole thing of not allowing Flash on the iPhone. Jobs and co's excuses didn't really ring true to me. I think it's more likely that they don't allow Flash, because that would allow many people to bypass the App Store for things like games. Why pay $$ for a crappy game from the App Store, when the web is full of crappy Flash games you can play for free?
