Thomas Husson of Forrester Research also saw the free Mavericks, and Apple's concurrent announcement that it will give its OS X iWork apps to all new Mac buyers, as buttressing the hardware-first strategy. "Apple's saying, 'Why should we hit you up for another $20? The OS is a complement to the device.' For the extra you pay for a Mac, you're getting end-to-end service, including upgrades." "It's an all-included strategy," concurred Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research.

"Mavericks will be a free upgrade because it is about the hardware and getting users engaged with it," Milanesi tweeted during the event. Others joined Milanesi in arguing that a free Mavericks - and future free upgrades, since it would be difficult for Apple to later charge for what had been free of charge - simply showed Cupertino's focus on selling hardware above all else. The company charged $30 for Lion two years later, then in 2012 cut that price by a third to $20 for Mountain Lion. In 2011, Apple slashed the price of Snow Leopard, or OS X 10.6, to $29 earlier upgrades had cost $129. She also pointed out that Apple's move had not come out of left field, but that the firm had been edging toward it for years. "This won't be a huge deal to Apple, but it will be for customers" said Carolina Milanesi of Gartner in a Tuesday interview, referring to the revenue Apple has left on the table by not charging for Mavericks.

While Federighi spent time Tuesday at Apple's iPad launch event going over some of the OS's new features, the real news was Apple's zero-dollar price. The no-older-than-Snow-Leopard limitation was due to the App Store, the only distribution channel for Mavericks versions of OS X that preceded Snow Leopard cannot access the e-market. Mac users running last year's Mountain Lion, 2011's Lion and even 2009's Snow Leopard were able to download Mavericks from the Mac App Store starting yesterday.
