More channels to sell expensive products are a win, win for the executives and their bonuses.
Somewhere in a darkened windowless (as well as soulless) room, Cook and Bezos and their respective legal teams are awkwardly high-fiving each other.
Most Apple products have always been available for sale on Amazon, and many still won't be for sale on Amazon after this.
The change is you would be buying the products from Apple or an authorized reseller, rather than from some no name Miami-based warehouse that may or may not be selling stolen products. It will also eliminate a lot of the price gouging that goes on.
Get the Apple Store App. No crashes.That's good because trying to order an iPhone on Apple's website always crashes Safari (or any browser) on my phone. I can't order one from my iPhone (but I can order a Mac). Way to go apple.

"With the new agreement, Apple devices will be available at regular retail prices."
What's the point!?
While many in here may applaud this, there is Cook's darker play in here, whereby Apple is locking up the MSRP with no room for "unauthorized" discounts.
Those mythical "Authorized Apple Resellers in/by Amazon" will now face a two-sided whammy: from Apple underneath, and from Amazon from above. And, left with no margin to profit.
Why even bother, then?
BEYSWOOOOSEEEEEEE! Going to really hurt Best Buy Online.
Unless they are (decently) cheaper, which I doubt they will be, I'd sooner buy direct from Apple.
Thanks for posting FUNNY video! LOLI'd like to see that.

We have reward points at work. I can use them towards an amazon gift card but not an apple gift card.Some people might want the Amazon points.
Forgive Apple if they don't see your comment. They are too busy counting their billions.I can sense how bad these apple products are selling
Very good for Amazon and Apple. Win win.
Most Apple thingies are already sold on Amazon. People read the article.
A couple of years ago I bought my MBP 15" Retina on Amazon. I got it for $100 less than Apple, and delivered more quickly too for free. I assumed Amazon already sold most of the newer Apple thingies, but I guess they didn't. I'm glad Amazon will now be selling more of Apple products.
True. 5% back on a $1400 iPhone would be nice!
