Apple is an accessory company that makes technology products
Apple is a dongle manufacturer, but they also sell devices you can stick your dongle into.
My first apple product was a PowerBook (the first aluminum one after the titanium laptop).
It came with a DVI/VGA dongle and had FireWire 800, 400, Ethernet, 56k modem, a bunch of USB ports, headphone and mic jacks, a DVI port, and even cardbus slot.
I only ever really used the DVI, FireWire, USB and headphone ports though. And the separate mic port was actually a pain in the ass.
The 1 thousand dollar monitor stand blurs the line between accessories and "should be required to be part of the package"
