Apple has always had a metric ton of accessories ... so I would posit their SKU count is actually not that different than before. Technology is also greatly improved -- runner is accessible via an iPhone/iPad and that is also integrated with payments and whatnot. Previously it was a hodge podge of Windows CE devices. I would imagine store operations are vastly more efficient than they were when I worked there -- so I am more surprised that this got worse rather than better.
