Would you like a fridge made by Apple?

Recently, about a time the rumors blasted with a new strenght, that Apple is going to collaborate with Verizon and that two new devices based on iPhone to be presented this year. One of them – possible Apple tablet called Media Pad, and the other one – something called iPhone Lite. It is said that iPhone Lite is going to have the same screen size, but les counterparts inside. Well, in my opinion customer is not a person to be informed how many parts are stuffed inside the iPhone. The iPhone Lite rumor reminds me the one about so called iPhone Nano. I am of the opinion that making a smaller iPhone is completely pointless and waste of time and money for the company. Anyway, rumors are immortal. They survived, however a bit mutated, even the official information provided by Tim Cook that Apple is not interested in low end sector of the market.
I am not going to deliberate neither about the question if those rumors are pointless and false nor about the possibility of introduction a new devices by Apple. I know nothing about the policy of Apple so I can say noting about it. Such kind of rumours that appear almost the same time of year, every year, make me thinking about reasons of them. It seems to me, that many devoted fans of Apple products and the company itself are so emotionally connected with the Apple, its logo and trademark, that would willingly use anything that had the Apple logo – products that probably Apple will never offer. They would be totally happy if almost every equipment they use (not necessary a computer, DVD player etc.) was a white or made of silver aluminum designed in Cuppertino. Thus they are waiting for Apple netbook that will fit into conditions of low end sector small laptops or for so called iPhone nano, just to have a cheap small mobile phone made by Apple. I wonder how many people would welcome warmly Apple cameras (I know there was one, rather unsuccessful product) and maybe Apple TV, Stereos refrigerators and cars. All those product could be designed in typical Apple style – no doubts Apple products are a part of a some style of life. No need to mention the stereotypes about the MacUsers – the intelligent, active, creative people who think different, and who is probably an artist. I have an impression, that some of the devoted Mac or generally Apple product users, want to turn the trademark to something similar to Gucci, Davidoff or i.e But if there is a point in this? I guess if Apple would bend under pressure of the expectations of its users it would turn into the company and trademark of the same kind as Sony or Samsung – both of them produce good and high quality consumer electronic products of many kinds. Those Apple fans would be happy just for a moment, later they would probably became sad and they would realize that they lost something special.
