is this a warning for customers to be aware of the same ripoff price policies that Apple uses?

A rip-off is when one pays a lot of money for a piece of crap, one can't say this about Apple.

Apparently DJI also saw fit to give drones to several cities in this country for their police departments. To make sure we all are 6 feet apart all over the country. True fact. Some supposedly with thermal scanning capabilities as well. Where's my free drone DJI. This is probably why prices to us are so high.

I have seen DJI products in my local Apple store for years. What are you even talking about? I purchased a DJI Osmo Gimbal there and I was able to get a person in the store to spend 20 minutes with me helping me learn how to use it. That was about 2 years ago.

Apple has been selling DJI products for years. A bit of assumption on your part to think the you would somehow increase prices just because Apple is selling them. The retail price from DJI’s store is the same as Apple.
I used to think Apple’s product is a bit pricy, but they have quality. A person I know bought a second hand iPhone, less than a year old. The camera was a bit faulty so he went to the Apple store, and Apple gave him a refurbished one for free. The phone he bought had a bit of wear an tear, and now he has like a new one. Businesses have to built into their pricing a bit of margin to cover these sort of things.
Mavic 2 batteries are expensive, but when I had a faulty one, they replaced it for free, twice, including postage back and forth, twice.

Apple provides products and services commensurate with their price.They easily have among the best phone support of any product-computer or otherwise.

When I decided to buy my mini, my company is a preferred buyer with Apple so I got 10% off and got the fly more package. Everyone else was sold out. Every Apple store around me had inventory. I paid online, drove to the store, walked in and Apples geofence recognized I was there and I had drone in my hand in less than 3 minutes. Easy peasy.

Convenient. But scary.
