Yes sorry, you have right.
In 1987, Steve Jobs was booted out from Apple. At that time he start NeXT OS and Next Box.
At the very time, he was attacked in justice by Apple cause he copy many of ideas of Apple brand.
S. Jobs answer was: "It is hard to think that a $2 billion company with 4,300-plus people couldn't compete with six people in blue jeans." - WikiQuote.org
Right now the same company, but instead S. Jobs to be attacked by Apple, right now he is the mastermind of the attack, did not try to make their product affordable, but instead it attacks the competitors.
They use iPhone, even was a Cisco brand, but they say that is too generic.
For me Apple looks like a behemoth that force you in the same as Microsoft or any monopoly do, but in their "stylish" OS, brand, products.
Shame of them that they not offer alternatives, instead they attack small companies, as did Microsoft with 235 patents to attack Linux.
