According to iLounge, Apple has instituted a ban against all screen protectors in its online store and retail locations. That’s screen protectors of any type, folks, whether its a film or integrated into some sort of case. I really have no clue why it would do this unless some marketing genius sad, “Hey Steve, we tout our great screens and then sell stuff to protect those screens. Isn’t that a mixed message?” Why no one smacked that guy and said, “Dumbass, those are some of our most popular accessories,” is beyond me.
It’s not that Apple is ordering case manufacturers to cease and desist. Those products simply won’t be available under an Apple roof any longer. It’s really an odd move considering the popularity of sleeves, cases, anti-glare films and the like. Obviously people will keep buying these things, they just won’t be buying them from Apple. Does that sound crazy to anyone else?
