You’d think so, but Apple gets special treatment (by both the US and Chinese government).

See: Apple’s secret deal to fund Chinese technology development and how US customs ensures nobody but Apple can import even genuine Apple parts and merch.

Are you implying that Apple would openly flaunt US sanctions for the benefit of a Chinese company? I find that hard to believe.

DJI themselves have publicly blamed "the compatibility strategy between the DJI App and Google Play Store", without elaborating. There's been no mention of US sanctions from DJI or Google.
