“Getting customers using our [Apple] stores is one of the best things we can do to get people hooked to the ecosystem. The more people use our stores the more likely they are to buy additional Apple products and upgrade to the latest versions. Who’s going to buy a Samsung phone if they have apps, movies, etc already purchased? They now need to spend hundreds more to get to where they are today.”
- Eddy Cue, Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services, Apple Inc. (email to Apple CEO Tim Cook, 2013)

FYI: “Apple Bytes” used to be a weekly video program hosted by Brian Tong on the C|NET website. It stopped after Brian left CNET.
