Actually what Apple's (relative) size is should have no bearing on whether they have a right to be indignant by a breach of trust.
And I disagree with you about what the balance of power would have been in a hypothetical Apple-Google cooperative partnership. What were Apple's alternatives if Google were to withdraw as a backend services partner--perhaps a direct competitor in phones? That doesn't seem too palatable. Doing their own backend services? How's that working out for Apple today?
