Thanks for posting this unfortunate reality. It is a kind of sell out. As an artist, I am particular about the kinds of materials I use. A brush has to be many things before it can compare to a Winsor & Newton Series 7. And for music, I get it. If music is your thing, you KNOW. You are the professional. The marketing at Apple doesn't. It's sad when corporations make decisions for the ones who understand what constitutes the best, all in the name of profit. Sorry to hear it.
