WOW, that is really nice. Probably better than 5th Avenue Apple Store in my opinion because of the classic brick design, glass roof, and its huge. Not all cluster ********* like 4th avenue too

Not related to the topic. Back to the topic. The store is awesome, but I like Fifth Avenue better and no I'm not from US or UK not even close.
Yep! I agree with you. I don't really care to see beneath me, while walking on any surface.
Haven't you seen some of those Americans? They are massive!
No glass ceilings for them!

That was meant to be a light-hearted joke. Some of the fittest people that I ever met were Americans. In fact, I was surprised not to see any fat people in Manhattan the last time I have been there. That was the same in central-Boston.
I think that every country has there fit and unfit people. I am from the Boston area and I would not say we are the fittest in the country, but I do not see fat people walking everywhere.
"According to the report, Apple's entire flagship Fifth Avenue retail store in Manhattan would fit into the glass-covered courtyard of the Covent Garden store."
that courtyard in the video doesn't seem that big ... at least it doesn't look near the size of 5th Ave store.

Give me a shop next door with a metal front and 1 guy at a desk selling iPad's in brown cardboard box's for £10 less and I'd not even look at the new Apple store.
Al I can think off if how much cheaper their products might be if they did not waste money on fancy gimmics.
Sorry.
It's like buying Levi's for £20 from a normal store or £40 from a fancy chrome and glass levi only store.
I get home, I've got the same item, but paid twice as much.

I wanna know where he go the idea that "Most Apple stores have a glass staircase."
Is that the situation over in the U.K. or something? Because based on my experiences that's not something I'd say.

Brilliant store, really nice. England finally won a competition at something
Only usually the big flagship stores, not the usual shopping mall ones.

Based on my (very) rough calculations, I think it's about $20 per $2,000 Mac.
I'd rather have the Apple stores (and the genius bars) than the $20, honestly.
In addition, the only reason the iPods and iPhone are competitively priced is because Apple was able to grow so large that they can get cheaper prices on parts than they could with Macs (and their much smaller market share). In other words, less stores would probably mean less iPod/iPhone dominance which means higher prices thus negating whatever small savings you made in the first place.
It's more likely that the prices would be higher without the Apple Stores.
Quite right!
I added an edit to my post above as you were typing this. My analysis of cash is "if all other things are equal." But of course, an Apple without stores would sell fewer products which would lead to hire prices.
