Hello Andrew and Happy New Year.
I can't speak for others but I always saw Apple as a company that at least in the PC end vastly overcharged their customers for what was not the top end products.
Basically their profit margins were and are huge compared to anyone else.
Also never cared for Mr. Job's on a personal level but I will give the man his due as one of the best promotional people seen since P.T.Barnum.
Last I think your analogy with Intel and AMD is a bit flawed as the root of AMD's suit was that it was being unfairly and illegally frozen out of the market by Intel.
That went on for SO long that even with the 1.25 billion paid to AMD they were now so far behind in terms of technology that they couldn't and I expect will never catch up.
