Smashing your iPhone to protest Apple after they already have your money. Not sure how this really effects Apple...

Apple loses the passive revenue stream (30% of app purchases.)

Apple loses a teensy bit of revenue from the (perhaps) couple hundred people who'd do this. It's a rounding error for them.

If it makes the BTC folks feel better to pitch a fit, fine, but let's not pretend it's anything more significant than that.

Plus, I'm sure Apple would prefer not to have videos of people smashing their iPhones doing the rounds - it doesn't quite present the image they're after.
