There are plenty of off-brand alternatives (and refurbished Apple goodies) to help you stay at the top of the tech game without going broke.

iPhone Four-In-One Audio And Charger Adapter
What's the four-in-one, you ask? Is it some kind of quirky fast food special that combines four different kinds of cow organs? Better!

Apple Wireless Magic Mouse + Keyboard Set (Certified Refurbished)
