Tim Cook opens doors at Apple's Fifth Avenue flagship store [u]

If I'm seeing the image correctly, it's 3 panes per side now? Amazing.
Three years from now, single panes per side! It will be so cool they won't interrupt a pane for a door, and they'll hog out a Bilco-Door through the sidewalk!

If you think Tim Cook is 'robbing' you, then so was Steve Jobs
Setting this report aside, we can also look at what has changed:
First iPhone came with a dock. That later became a $30 accessory, today it's $49, with the only change being the colour.
The CCK came with a SD Card reader plus a USB adapter. Sold for $30. Today still being sold for $30, but per adapter, doubling the price.
Replacing the glass used to be $60, then $90, then $229, then came the iPhoneX: $550 to replace the glass.
Obviously things have changed, especially with the glass/displays. But what all seemed 'reasonable' now come across as greedy to some...and these folks will likely be very sincere in their believes. Possibly even 'right'.
