Retail Accessories Apple Won't Sell You Now Available via New Site

Hmm 🤔 No mentioning of battery life…

I guess it would be something around 8-12 hours and then we’ll have to buy an external battery to extend it... like a Tesla wall charger thing.... you’ll plug the Tim Apple to it and he’ll last for ever doing his things, telling you your couch is amazing, it’s the best couch ever designed, your front door is the thinnest door ever, isn’t that amazing ?

Pretty much what I was thinking -- how are they sourcing these things, since they agree that Apple won't sell them? Either they're dumpster diving or they're selling stolen goods.

So, one would have to first assume that any of these products are related in any way to Apple. 🙂 It’s not like the industrial design is hard to make a copy of, there are companies that make copies of entire phones!

Apple’s name being all over the site is likely why it’ll be yonked.
 
This is actually a pretty fun idea. The only thing remotely resembling what I might called "an interest," is the iPad ring stand. That said, I have zero need for it.

What might be cool(er), and likely just a nerdy "me thing," would be a collection of furniture Apple uses in retail. all captured in one online store. A few years back, I was shopping for a chair. Apple Cherry Creek (Denver) has an always vacant meeting/conference room. Inside, was this chair that caught my eye, as well as some fo the other furnishings (I have also always loved their chunky tables). I eventually tracked down the chair (can't recall the company) and as you can expect, it was not inexpensive. But the design nerd in me would dig an online store focused on selling Apple retail furnishings. Again, I said it was likely a nerdy "me thing." So no need to get worked up. Move along. It's Friday. 😁

There certainly overpriced so I don’t understand why Apple won’t sell them.

Nor would a consumer need any of these to begin with. These fixtures are expected to hold up under the wear of literally thousands of people handling them daily. Your average headphone stand or whatever isn't gonna hold up that well under this kind of use and doesn’t have to -- so it can be priced more reasonably for home use.

Are people showcasing their Apple products or using it? Either people running some museum or store in their house. 😝

there are forums on this very website for people (like me) for whom collecting apple stuff is a hobby. Displaying them with stuff like this sounds like a dream, I was very disappointed all the good stuff is sold out.
 
Most of the accessories are not practical for a home. They have quite a large footprint. I like the AirPods Max stand, but it’s rather tall. You would have to make space for it.

The tray being $300 is funny. Peak current Apple.

You do realize this isn’t being sold by Apple as a consumer product, right? If you were able to buy retail fixtures spec’ed for some other high-end retail store they would be every bit as expensive.

Not sure about retail, but most of Apple Park is furnished with MillerKnoll products in custom finishes.
