And who cares?? Sombody is getting ripped off and think its the customers.
I have to agree. Very few people are actually buying whenever I've been in their - most go in there for the free wifi, to check emails and facebook...feel like slapping them sometimes.
Not sure why Apple still havent blocked access to social networks on their in-store wifi. I know they want to draw people in to use the machines, but surely they arent getting a sale anyway from someone who's only purpose in the shop is to post a status update.
I guess you don't know much about corporations. It's not aapl's job. Charitable donations by corporations is a tricky area. In the end, corporations are in business to make money for shareholders. Expenditures really have to be justified as a means toward that end. When a donation is very large it really becomes "advertising" and isn't at all charitable. $2M was a small amount intended to do no more than assist in a charitable effort.
But then, you're not from the U.S. since you wrote:
"Good job Sammy. Show the bastards how we do it in Korea"
You sound a little rude there, with the "I guess you don't know much about corporations.", and then you sound a bit xenophobic with the "But then, you're not from the U.S...".
Apparently because if Apple only meets its projections, and doesn't beat them by ten percent, it's a sign that the company is doomed and the stock will drop by 20%.
Yay!! Apple's number 1!! for taking our money!!! let's buy more!!!
This is interesting. Apple's store in Tysons Corner, Virginia is probably twice as big as their stores in Fair Oaks, Virginia and Reston, Virginia. Of course, the Tysons Corner store is probably considered their flagship store for the greater Washington D.C. metro area.
My guess is that location probably take precedence over store size and location to a certain extent probably dictates store size.
I'm sure Apple has done plenty of research on who is buying their products and they open their stores in the areas where those people live and work.
And how does this make their last product innovative? Better? Worth the increasing price?
Yeah, one of those many many micro-news any corporation could do in other domains, that actually don't mean anything but Apple making money and obviously not investing it in R&D, quality or consumer prices anymore...but rather in ridiculous patent lawsuits.

I actually find this entire statistic flawed useless and biased, for instance apart from Tiffany's, and I don't even know where one of their stores is in the UK, I have never ever heard of the other company's, so hardly that popular. So unless the statistic is based on US sales only made from in the brick and mortar stores, then it's useless.
But it still means nothing to me.
From my google search. Yoga clothes and running gear for men and women....wow $2000 per sq ft from that.
The title of the thread is:
Apple Again Tops U.S. Retail Chains in Sales at $6000 per Square Foot
Well, still means nothing to me. A useless stats in my opinion.

The Tysons store was the first Apple Store in the world. I think they just chose a spot, not really giving thought to size as they had no idea how it would turn out. Then Reston and Fair Oaks were built as "overflow" stores to handle extre traffic from Tysons.
Just my thoughts.

When they ring you up, there are strobe lights and bells like the jackpot on a slot machine. So when you don't hear those bells, you assume that no one else is buying.I have to agree.
