Think about it.Maybe Apple will acquire DJI



First was Apple Care  -- Now DJI Care
Apple glossy white --- Now DJi glossy white
Apple Stores now sell DJI Products.
Apple has BILLIONS & BILLIONS of cash sitting around.
Apple already has exclusive manufacturing partners in China.
Apple can easily set-up repair & exchange faculities in existing apple locations.
Apple can easily integrate their displays into RC Controllers.

Any thing I did not mention ?

No, Apple will not be acquiring the "iBird".   If they did, then the price would be $5999.00 lol

iDoubt it though interesting as iThought about the same thing a week ago....
There is likely a lot more to DJI than we see though, you can only imagine the possible developments they have going on with other contractors,
Then again, DJI do have some pretty interesting tech that Apple may want....and DJI could sure as hell use some help with software and firmware rollouts...
Who knows?....
Edit..oh, and I have already owned a flying iPhone...it took off only once and did real good until it landed...not a pretty site...But wait...AppleCare to the rescue....ahhhhhh!.

Interesting how fast DJI got Apple to release a new version of the Go app. Two days ago version 2.70 was release and today version 2.71 has been release.

Better hope Apple does not acquire DJI.  You won't be able to change the battery without sending it in.  You won't be able to change the memory size without buying a new model with more memory.  You will have to buy new cables because USB is a bad word.  Oh well the RC might come with an iPad Mini 4 monitor built in.

Well Apple needs sone innovation seeing as not much new has been produced for a while. Mind you maybe if Apple did purchase DJI the &^$*( software & updates would work.
