In an update to the Online Apple Store early Friday morning Apple added a new section dedicated to accessories, which collects all first- and third-party products .

Accessories


Spotted by AppleInsider reader Parth, a new "Shop Accessories" option has been added to Apple's main product subpages, making the accessories section a more prominent fixture on the online storefront.

Like other Online Apple Store pages, the accessories category is divided into sub-sections covering Apple-made products, Apple Store exclusives, trending products, gift cards and a catchall for "all accessories." As before, filters can be applied to the large selection of cases, peripherals and other computing accouterments.

Previously, accessories were accessible via the online storefront's iPhone, iPad and Mac subpages, though the "All Categories" option would come up after clicking on a specific product from the main Apple Store page.

As of this writing, the changes have not yet been pushed out to the Apple Store iOS app.

    Any reasonable person would consider this a new 2014 product category.

    "Shop Mac" "Shop iPad" "Shop iPhone" "Shop iPod" "Shop AppleTV" "Shop Accessories" ... the word shop is getting a little redundant.

    Still a lot of sites that need to be updated with the new design language. Hopefully online store is next.

    Exactly. We already know it’s the store; it’s right there on the page. Drop it from the categories!
