Apple's strategy too?

Apple doesn't add the features back.

Third parties implement the feature and then you pay $9-$49 for the software. Sometimes you can add $4-$19 for a software update for every OS update.

It's a great ecosystem for developers.

I was going to say the AirPod strap, but it looks like those are sold by another company...
