I like to refer to things like this as "the brick that broke the camel's back". "Straws" that break the camel's back should be reserved for an insignificant annoyance that sets you off after a long period of building up grievances; calling it the brick implies the long buildup of grievances but also that this one is pretty significant. (And it tends to get a chuckle, which is a plus in my book.) I think this is a pretty significant finger in the eye from Apple.
And if it's really large, "the anvil that broke the camel's back".
"Man, I'm guessing that was the nuclear warhead that broke the camel's back."

"And destroyed most of his neighborhood."

There are more ways to skin a cat than nuking the site from orbit, but it's the only way to be sure.
I hate to reply with fluff, but I'm pretty sure I've actually said that too. Apparently there's a canonical scale of heaviness in our culture.

I definitely have never nuked a poor camel, though (per JacobAldridge's reply), though I'll see what I can do about correcting that oversight. Also perhaps I'll drop a Library of Congress on an unsuspecting camel.

hey, hey, one metaphor at a time!
He's not the brightest tool in the shed.
