The fact that they used to not care was the reason I got into apple stuff and started working for them.
The fact that they now care (A LOT) is what made me dislike the company and quit my job..
Apple was such a cool company not too long ago designing what they wanted and not what the market wanted.
When the iPhone came out it was amazing and completely revolutionized everything, now it's even more "pricy" and there's hardly anything new other than better performance via better hardware (you don't even want to know how much it's costs them to make an iPhone today compared to what it costed when they first came out..).
Today apple abuses their fame to the max, they have unhuman demands on their employees (just because it's the "coolest" place to work and one of the most demanded jobs on the market) and limits the potential of their products so much...
Despite all this, they still make darn good products, in my eyes Mac OS/Linux completely dominates windows in all areas other than the potentioal freedom you have (this isn't true for Linux though I guess :P) with the OS.
If you don't care that much about the extra price etc I'd totally recommend it I'd argue that they're overpriced but not as overpriced as people say they are (people overlook a lot of stuff)!
It's just that apple really ruins it when they for an example: don't allow you to custmize your hardware just to be able to buy their computers super cheap..
I like to tell people that I started working for a company that wanted to make great products and quit a company that wanted to make great profit. (This is getting so cheesy haha)
TLDR:
Apple: makes amazing products, but is a terrible company.
of course this all is just my opinion and my assumptions, if you want to argue any other then go ahead ^^
