The difference between Apple now and Apple a couple years ago is that they would never dilute the main Apple product page with external brands. While I think it's great that you can buy Apple-compatible drones, I hardly think "people who impulse buy $500 drones or $300 headphones" is a large enough market to warrant ~30% of the page.

accessory attachment rate is huge in the cell phone industry. the companies care about it so much they fire sales reps who don't sell enough accessories with the phones in the overall numbers


The headphones are owned by Apple. They paid Dre over a billion for Beats.
