(CNN Business) -
Picture this: You are Apple's biggest lover.
You have an unlimited budget.
And you want all things: top-of-the-line devices, stylish accessories, and amenities.
You may not need that high-end graphics chip or the extra storage, but they're there, right?
Times are tough, and Apple has tried to position itself as a more financially accessible brand with the launch of the cheaper iPhone SE this year.
But Apple was always a premium brand.
And for people with money to spend, Apple has some amazing ways for people to pay huge amounts of money.
So CNN Business investigated how much it would cost to choose all of Apple's products.
This is what we found.

Apple watch

Mac
To really beef up your home office, you can get a Mac Pro ($ 5,999) with all the add-ons for $ 54,447.98.
That includes a 2.5GHz 28-core Intel Xeon W processor with Turbo Boost up to 4.4GHz ($ 7,000);

And of course you will also need a monitor.
Apple sells the 32-inch Pro Display XDR with Retina 6K and nanotexture glass for $ 5,999 and a Pro Stand for $ 999. If you want to mount your monitor, you'll need a $ 199 adapter.
And to add AppleCare + and a cable: $ 798 and $ 129.
Total: US $ 62,571.98
Apple MacBook
If you also want a MacBook for when you're on the go, a top-of-the-line with all the added features would look like this: 16-inch MacBook Pro in Space Gray ($ 2,799) with an 8-core 2.4 Intel Core i9 processor. 9th-generation GHz with Turbo Boost up to 5.0 GHz ($ 200);
64 gigabytes of memory ($ 800);
the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M graphics chip with 8GB of HBM2 memory ($ 700);
8 TB of storage (US $ 2,200);
and both software pre-installed (Final Cut Pro for $ 299.99 and Logic Pro for $ 199.99).
All that adds up to US $ 7,198.98.
Adding AppleCare + to protect this expensive purchase will cost you another $ 379.
You probably need some accessories too.
You will probably also need some accessories.
You can add a USB-C adapter cable to the Lighting port adapter cable to connect your iPhone to the MacBook and another cable to your USB just in case, all for $ 36. A leather case ($ 199) will go well with your Hermès watch strap.
A keyboard with a number pad will cost you $ 129, and you could have a hands-free mouse for $ 994.95.
And an adjustable stand for your MacBook Pro costs $ 79.95.
Total: US $ 9,016.88
iPad
Apple promotes the iPad as a device that can be both a PC and a tablet.
The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the most expensive of the iPads at $ 1,649 when you pay for all the special accessories.
That would be 1TB of storage and cellular service (additional costs will vary by carrier).
AppleCare + adds another $ 129. With a next-gen keyboard ($ 349) you'll have that PC part, and with an Apple Pencil ($ 129) you can scribble notes and draw in inDesign.
Before leaving the store, you will need to protect your delicate iPad from daily wear and tear.
A case costs $ 99 and you can pair it with a backpack (nothing worse than a wallet that's too small for your iPad!) For another $ 99. Soon you'll look like any other tech savvy heading to a big conference. .
Total: US $ 2,583 (excluding additional operator costs)
iPod
Don't forget about nostalgia!
Apple brought back its classic iPod touch in 2019 and it retails for $ 399 with 256GB of storage.
Add AppleCare + for $ 59.
A big fan, or someone who wants to ignore text messages from time to time carrying only their iPod, for example when exercising, could have the iPod and the iPhone, even if they both play Apple Music.
A case for the iPod touch?
US $ 30.
Total: US $ 488
AirPods Pro
Apple presents the new AirPods Pro 0:56
These $ 249 wireless earbuds have been a favorite of most, despite initial comments circulating on social media that they look weird.
(They said the same thing about AirPods when they were introduced in 2016.)
For that price, you get headphones that sound a bit better than the original AirPods.
You can add damage protection for $ 29.
Total: $ 278
AirPods Max
These are Apple's new and expensive AirPods Max 1:17
Since Beats headphones and AirPods Pro just aren't enough for someone who's always looking for the latest and greatest in wireless audio, Apple has a new product called AirPods Max.
They cost a whopping $ 549, more expensive than Apple's more affordable iPhones, and look like a cross between AirPods and Beats.
If you're looking to improve your audio experience or are just curious about the latest version, it might make sense to get them.
From their looks, they probably have more bass than typical AirPods or AirPods Pro can deliver.
To protect them, be prepared to spend another $ 59.
Total: US $ 608
HomePod
This is the HomePod mini, the new Apple speaker 0:55
If you are immersed in the Apple ecosystem, when choosing a smart speaker for your home, there is only one type that will easily sync with the rest of your devices and automatically use Apple Music by default: HomePod.
While Siri still lags behind Google Assistant and Amazon's Alexa in their voice capabilities, Apple charges $ 299 for the pumpkin speaker and an additional $ 39 for AppleCare +.
To give you credit, let's say it blends in pretty well with modern furniture.
Total: US $ 338
Apple tv
No home assembly would be complete without a TV (and, you know, a sofa, but we haven't seen Apple, Google, or Samsung launch a branded sofa yet).
That's where the Apple TV comes in.
To be clear, you will still have to buy the television separately, for example a Sony or Samsung 4K television.
For $ 199, Apple sells the Apple TV box, which connects to a number of apps that some TVs don't support on their own, like Peloton or MasterClass, and a remote control.
If you've spent anywhere from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands for your TV, the Apple TV box with a $ 29 protection plan is the icing on the cake.
Total: US $ 228
Services
What does the Apple One subscription service include?
1:15
Lastly, Apple is also in the business of selling services on a subscription basis.
While iPhone sales have slowed in recent years, what's inside the devices continues to take off.
Apple offers so many services that it created a package called Apple One to provide access to all of them.
After a one-month free trial, Apple One costs US $ 29.95 per month for the main subscription, which brings you Apple TV +, the Apple Arcade game service, Apple News +, 2 TB of iCloud storage and Apple Fitness +, which launches this December 14.
Total: US $ 359.40 per year
Total cost of being Apple's biggest follower
Now let's add it all up.
If you really adorned your wrist, your pockets and your home with Apple devices, how much would it leave you in the red?
The total comes to a whopping $ 79,875.26, excluding shipping costs, taxes and carrier fees.
Assuming you are a big Apple lover, you probably also have the brand's credit card, which will allow you to get a 3% cash back on your purchases.
You will get US $ 2,396.25 back.
It's worth it, right?
