Evidentally I was down rated for asking a question that involved too much thought that deviated from 'can it play crysis' jokes. Somehow, I'm ok with that...

Anyways, I don't really get all worked up in the 'Apple must be punished beyond repair' or the 'Android is the best OS despite any of its actual flaws' stuff that happens on these forums for better or worse.

As far as consumers go, Apple was never a brand you went to for cost-value, or even for value parity (that is, actually getting what you pay for).

No, Apple is the brand people seemingly gravitate to when cost seemingly is not a variable in value. So, as far as the effects on consumers go... there are plenty of better alternatives from both a functional and cost perspective so I guess I don't feel one way or the other on that. It's not any different before as it will be after. It's still the brand you pay more for to get less of regardless of whether the cost gets passed down to consumers or not.

I only get annoyed about consumer circumstances when there are no viable alternatives.
