We all thought he was mental... No idea where he is now

Scanning the beaches of tropical islands on google maps would be a good start.

Apple margins are impressive.

Sure, Apple make very high profit margins, but they also risk a lot with the amount they put into R&D for new products. High risk often equals high reward.

People keep bleating about Apple prices being high, but never seem to mention the fact that competing smartphones and tablets are all priced around the same area. Why is that?

Unless someone is a shareholder, why should they cheer high profits?
Well done Apple and AAPL shareholders, but this means sod all to me as a consumer.

On a slightly less cynical slant, it means that Apple customers will enjoy high resale values when trading up, and security that the company won't go bust in the near future (leaving them with a pile of useless tech).
