Apple says cheap battery replacements hurt iPhone sales

Am I the only one thinking "Good!" in response to this? We don't need Apple selling more iPhones to people who don't really need them. This is better for the consumer, better for the environment, and probably even better for Apple in the long-run. Yes, it costs them some short-term profits. So what?

It’s possible they did that not because it stopped people from buying new phones, but because they LOSE a bunch of money on every battery they replace at $30. So many people took advantage of the program it may have simply made a big dent in their profits.
