My impression is that Apple are being HUGELY SAVVY in employing color management techniques *at the system level* to create a uniform consumer experience, whatever the hardware manufacturer of their displays. On the other hand, they are walking away from supporting *application level* color management. Which seeing how theologically complex the ICC model is, and how few diagnostic tools support it, may be a very good management decision. The ICC has successfully facilitated a color model for the specialist print industry; it has spectacularly failed at supplying a simple non-proprietary toolkit for display and video applications.

I for one am horrified that Apple, once a leader in color management has simply walked away from color management. It seems to me like they are leaving themselves exposed to competition and devalue the brand overall by not leading in this area. What is disturbing is the fact that the technology exists (ICC) and is standardized and proven.
I simply cannot understand the logic here.
