I understand in the end apple wants to push more hardware and it is a business, I just wish they would come out and say it.

there is no way to respond to this without sounding like a fanboi but i'm going to try anyway...
people who jailbreak their iphone are more tolerant of the decreased battery life and performance seeing as they expect a few bugs. they know they're breaking the rules and don't hold it against apple if something goes wrong.
apple's really evangelical about the user experience. they've got a good reputation for it. that kind of branding is worth a lot of money to them. in fact, it's probably worth more than they get from a few "forced upgrades"
