That right there. Apple is already seen as hopelessly snobby and elitist; this makes it look like they are selling it right alongside iPads and MacBooks (which they are, sort of).

I mean, you are right. They're a company with a very heavy focus on design and they can do whatever they want. It's silly to really go after them for doing this - after all, most people who heavily criticize Apple are just looking for a reason to.

That doesn't make it any less ridiculous of a product. I'm sure the quality of the book is outstanding.
