Some specialised hardware Digi sells aside, the difference is that Apple wants to propel computer hardware sales. They try to produce a closed market they control ... ok they do this since years but now they start cannibalizing the partners they wanted to attract in the past. It's all more aggressive now and I think it will affect the users massively by narrowing the choices to a degree that Apple dictates a 'take it or leave it'.
