To have their products presented the way Steve wanted them to be presented, back in 2001, they had to have their own stores. Little kiosks at Best Buys were not going to cut it. I remember them being a huge breath of fresh air for Apple users, twenty or so years ago. Nowadays, I would agree, they aren't as essential. (Looking forward to trying a AvPro at a store next year, though.)
Ditto. Can’t wait to buy and pickup my first apple device at Del Amo Mall!
I live about 15 minutes from an Apple Store. Great people and experiences.
That one in Mall of Georgia is an older store, so it could use the new space and uplift. As for the caption, been to that Waterside Apple Store in Naples, Florida. High traffic for obvious reasons, and it's right across the Hermes store.

Apple can afford it! Not many others can.
At least one in (northern) east Germany would be really great because AASP‘s don’t cut it. Another one in Berlin at least so people from different states at least get the chance to get an appointment in a not completely overrun store would be the bare minimum please.
Seriously it’s always as if there’s a school trip to them any day of the week.

Would love an Apple Store here in Wichita. Largest city in Kansas (around half a million people) and the nearest Apple Stores are a 2.5+ hour drive to Kansas City or Tulsa.
Everyone is entitled their opinion/definition but your airplane description would also be chaotic IMO.
Back then, CompUSA had “Apple” sections, and store staff that actively detracted from the experience (at least, that was the case at the downtown SF store). The original nearby Apple Store at the foot of Stockton Street was an enormous improvement.
You missed the point. Those places are very far away. No one is arguing they are comparable.
They are also a security risk sometimes, if they have back door with poor security, or adjacent walls that are not strengthen to prevent breaking like that example of a Apple Store where they put a hole near the bathroom from one store to another.

An Apple Store at the Alderwood Mall was burgled last weekend, with thieves infiltrating the location through a nearby coffee shop. According to...

Out of curiosity I checked the U. Oregon website for the college that requires a laptop purchase (and it's the Design College) and discover that said university has a.... Dell Site. Maybe Ducks do Dell???
Most USA University campus stores, sell Apple, Dell as examples. https://www.uoduckstore.com/technology
Look under Tech category
Shoplifting and robbery in malls are trivial impacts compared to the wasteland that malls encourage.
Frankly, theft of small items is now a political hot-button used to dog-whistle. (Not saying you're intending that.) Yes, shoplifting is a problem but that has always been the case.
Malls destroy the sense of community. They end up being giant warehouses where random people show up to quickly walk by each other, slaves to their automobiles and over-stimulation from the noise/light machines packed into said warehouses.
The Dead Mall series on YouTube is an exploration of these wastelands.
Yeah, I usually go to South Bay, but the Del Amo location is slightly closer to where I live. Good spot for an Apple Store.
Apple stores are pretty boring now. Maybe it's simply the novelty wearing off, but years ago there was a lot more excitement when visiting the Apple store. Apple wasn't displayed in Best Buy and Costco back then either, so it felt more exclusive. Now it's easier than ever to walk past an Apple store without so much as a passing glance. RIP Steve.
Actually Steve started the removal of third party wares sold in Apple Store. That joke of an audio product iPod Hi-Fi sold in 2006 showed Apple’s management conduct a removal of multiple better quality computer speakers so it could sell better. We seen this cross the board with many product categories such as sleeves, cases, networking and storage choices. When they bought Beats all the third party headphones vanished. Earphones also. Years ago an Apple Store offered a wide variety of goods. Now Best Buy in the USA is the place to go if you are looking for products outside Apple’s own. Amazon also offers the same.

Had no idea there was a Labrador region. Immediately added to bucket-list.
Is it as amazing as it sounds?
Can we really take you seriously with that username?
