I always thought that was an interesting attitude.  Apple seems to be more concerned with making and selling the physical devices rather than bringing income from their software.  Microsoft became successful making money from their software licensing, including their operating systems.  Apple could probably have done the same by allowing the clone manufacturers to exist and also perhaps by selling their Mac OS (and perhaps allowing Mac OS to be installed on any non-Apple PC).  But Apple has not chosen that route.  They're all about controlling both the hardware and software.
