Apple Hoses Its Own Best Customers

Well, at least that's what it seems like. How would you feel if you were so enamored with Apple that you waited in line for hours to get one of the first iPhones, paid $600 for it, and then 66 days later find out Apple cut the iPhone's price by $200? Why, you'd be royally ticked off! You'd feel like you paid, as Wired put it, the stupid tax.

Apple certainly makes great products. It also produces great arrogance.
