Also look at when Apple came to Verizon--when they had a significant market share/customer base. Apple has NEVER conceded any ground within any negotiations in the past, what, decade? So why would they with Sprint/Verizon?
One thing I think of when it comes to Apple's concessions.... One of the reasons Verizon passed on the original iPhone and ATT picked up exclusivity is because one of Apple's demands was that if people need help/service, they are to take it to an Apple store for that. Verizon was not willing to budge, they want their customers to be able to walk into a Verizon store for help with their devices. When Verizon finally got the iPhone, they got it on those terms. Apple conceded there. Just an example of how they don't necessarily hold unlimited power, lol.
Regarding the 'true nexus' argument, I'm sticking with the simple definition... Google considers the VZW Nexus a Nexus, so I do too.
