Dunno about that. I think I'd give Amazon that prize. My Fire tablets
make me look at an ad before I can even access them. Course I realize
that the tablets are sold cheap with that in mind. And IMO the ads are
well done and often interesting so I've never considered paying the $30
bribe/fee to get rid of them.

Headphone use never entered into my wife's decision to get Apple
products. She's bought them for years (tablet, phone, and recently a
watch). Not sure she even used any of the headphones that came with
them. I suspect most people don't buy their phones based on headphone
type either.

That's actually very good business sense if sales are good. Sure wish
I'd bought some Apple stock a few years back...

The wife has always liked Apple products because they just work. She can
do everything SHE wants to do on them without any technical know how. I
suspect that's why many folks buy them.
