These sites were designed by Eight Inc. and CEO Tim Kobe who was designing the Apple MacWorld and product launch events with Apple. CompUSA was one of the few retailers that kept its Apple contract by agreeing to adopt Apple's "store within a store" concept designed by Eight Inc. This required that approximately 15% of each CompUSA store would be set aside for Mac hardware and software (including non-Apple products) and would play host to a part-time Apple salesperson.
However, the "store within a store" approach did not meet expectations, in part because the Apple section was in the lowest-traffic area of CompUSA stores. CompUSA president Jim Halpin, who proclaimed that he would make Apple products his top priority, was forced to resign a year later. Also, CompUSA had trouble finding well-trained staff, as most store clerks usually steered customers away from Macs and towards Windows PCs.
Through these setbacks, CompUSA sales of Macs had increased. Apple then added Best Buy as a second authorized reseller. Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, returned to the company as interim CEO in 1997.
According to his biographer Walter Isaacson, Jobs began a concerted campaign to help sales by improving the retail presentation of Macintosh computers. Even with new products launched under his watch, like the iMac and the PowerBook G3 and an online store, Apple still relied heavily on big-box computer and electronics stores for most of its sales. There, customers continued to deal with poorly trained and ill-maintained Mac sections that did not foster customer loyalty to Apple and did not help differentiate the Mac user experience from Windows. In fact, the retailer trend was towards selling their own generic in-house brand PCs which used even cheaper components than those by major PC makers, increasing retailer overall margins by keeping the manufacturing profits. This "provided a powerful profit motive to convert customers interested in buying a Mac into the owners of a new, cheaply assembled, house brand PC".
As the Apple brand took over, many apple authorized reseller stores realized that their customers require more than just a place to purchase the devices and accessories, they also needed a place to those devices as well. And thus, Apple authorized reseller stores quickly incorporated a tech laboratory into their stores, meaning a place where customers can hand in their faulty devices for repair.

Indians waited with bated breath because, during the COVID times, buyers will no longer have to rush to a retail store near them to buy an Apple product or an accessory that might only be available in an Apple store only. Now, Apple always sold its products through e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart but never had a platform of its own. With the online Apple Store, it can finally deliver the products to the customers without the involvement of the third party.
"The Avenue" is the central location for hardware, as well as for receiving advice from salespersons and "Creative Pros" with specialized knowledge of music, photography, creativity, and apps. The "Genius Bar" becomes the "Genius Grove", a tree-lined area for help and support. "The Forum" features a large video screen and offers game nights, sessions with experts in creative arts, and community events.
"The Plaza", while limited to select locations, offers a "park-like" space outside the store featuring free 24/7 Wi-Fi access and will host live concerts on some weekends. The new design will be adopted to every store Apple has, and while renovation is undergoing, stores are either relocated or temporarily closed. Many Apple Stores are located inside shopping malls, but Apple has built several stand-alone flagship stores in high-profile locations.
It has been granted design patents and received architectural awards for its stores' designs and construction, specifically for its use of glass staircases and cubes. The success of Apple Stores has had significant influence over other consumer electronics retailers, who have lost traffic, control and profits due to perceived higher quality of service and products at Apple Stores. Apple's notable brand loyalty among consumers causes long lines of hundreds of people at new Apple Store openings or product releases. Due to the popularity of the brand, Apple receives many job applications, many of which come from young workers.
Apple Store employees receive above-average pay, are offered money toward education and health care, and receive product discounts; however, there are limited or no paths of career advancement. A May 2016 report with an anonymous retail employee highlighted a hostile work environment with harassment from customers, intense internal criticism, and a lack of significant bonuses for securing major business contracts. The first Apple Stores were originally opened as two locations in May 2001 by then-CEO Steve Jobs, after years of attempting but failing store-within-a-store concepts. Seeing a need for improved retail presentation of the company's products, he began an effort in 1997 to revamp the retail program to get an improved relationship with consumers and hired Ron Johnson in 2000.
Jobs relaunched Apple's online store in 1997 and opened the first two physical stores in 2001. Over the years, Apple has expanded the number of retail locations and its geographical coverage, with 512 stores across 25 countries worldwide as of September 4, 2021, when the new store in Changsha, China opened. Strong product sales have placed Apple among the top-tier retail stores, with sales over $16 billion globally in 2011. Apple's strategic association with Croma has been a long one.

Between 1997 and 2000, the number of Mac authorized resellers dropped from 20,000 to just 11,000. The majority of these were cuts made by Apple itself.
Jobs proclaimed that Apple would be targeting Dell as a competitor, with Cook's mandate to match or exceed Dell's lean inventories and streamlined supply chain.

An employee of the first knockoff confirmed that the store was not one of the 13 authorized Apple resellers in Kunming. The operators of that store had applied for a reseller license from Apple. At the time of the report, only four legitimate Apple Stores had opened in China, with two in Beijing and two in Shanghai. Several publications and analysts predicted the failure of Apple Stores. However, the Apple retail program established its merits, bypassing the sales-per-square-foot measurement of competing nearby stores, and in 2004 reached $1 billion in annual sales, the fastest of any retailer in history.
Sales continued to grow, reaching $1 billion a quarter by 2006. According to research firm RetailSails, the Apple Store chain ranked first among U.S. retailers in terms of sales per unit area in 2011, almost doubling Tiffany, the second retailer on the list. On a global level, all Apple Stores had a combined revenue of US$16 billion. Ron Johnson held the position of Senior Vice President of Retail Operations from 2001 until November 1, 2011. In January 2012, Apple transferred retail leadership to John Browett.
