Apple jacks prices to juice profits because $19.3B a quarter isn't enough
(www.theregister.com)
Apple users can probably stomach it. Not like they can't afford 100$/year or so after paying 1000$ for a phone, 2000$ for a laptop, and don't even know how much else for peripherals. They'll gladly do it again, so of course 200$/year for a subscription ain't much. They probably pay more for their phone bill.

Well, they could also lay off personnel, as some of the other *evil*
tech companies.
I'm fine with them hiking the prices if they actually let us integrate alternative cloud services.
