I am not sure we are having the same conversation.No one is suggesting that, for obvious reasons.
Apple sold 128 AAC as "CD Quality". This was an outright lie.
They also supplied horrid ear buds with iPods (I know exactly how much those cost to make) which necessitated turning up the volume on the unit to be able to hear anything resembling music.
It is no accident that Apple is called the most succesful failure of all time. If not for the iPod (which Jobs did NOT invent) and then the iphone/ipad, and just left to sell computers the company would have been liquidated years ago.
EDIT: There is absolutely no reason why apple can't sell lossless CD files (forget hirez) except for the fact they don't give one shit.
