Latest Apple Store Stories
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online Earlier this month, reports began to surface about possible layoffs in Apple’s retail stores. According to these reports, some employees either had their hours drastically cut or were simply not on the schedule anymore, causing many to believe that Apple would begin laying off some of these employees, who were mostly new hires. Shortly after these reports came to light, John Browett, Apple’s senior vice president of retail, sent...
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports – Your Universe Online Preparing to enter the second year of his reign as the chief executive of Apple , Tim Cook found himself in charge of the most valuable company in history -- despite a fourth-quarter that fell short of analyst's expectations, according to various media reports published Friday.

John Neumann for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online Sleeping bag? Check. Lawn chair? Yup. Bags of chips and extra-large soda? Got ‘em. Along with my inhaler to keep me from hyperventilating, it looks like I’m ready to camp out in front of an Apple store as the world’s most valuable company, with its oceans of cash, readies for a new influx of money to thunder into its bulging vaults after it rolls out its next must-have products next month. September 12 is the date Apple has...
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online For all the reasons people attribute to Apple’s success — killer, cutting edge products, slick marketing, great customer service — there is one very large, very broad reason for Apple’s success: Their retail stores. Of course, many thought Steve Jobs and his team were daft when they announced they wanted to open the retail stores in May 2001. Jobs, after all, wanted to make extra certain that an Apple employee had control...
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online When Apple makes a mistake, they’re always very good about fessing up to it. Scratch that: When Apple believes there was a mistake to be made in the first place and that, somehow, they’ve made it, they’re very good about fessing up. So, when MacRumors.com ran a story on Monday about possible significant layoffs of new hires at the Apple retail stores, many began to wonder what was going on down in Cupertino. After all,...
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online Perhaps we’ve become bored with the iPhone and “iPad Mini” rumors. Perhaps — and this is a shame — we already know all we need to know about the next iPhone. In which case, Apple could just release the thing tomorrow, we’d all buy it straight away, and Apple wouldn’t have to go through the whole flash and pomp of a press event. For the second time this month, the Apple TV has come back into the conversation. Earlier,...
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online By now, most everyone agrees Apple will announce a new iPhone come September 12, just 29 days from now. The team at app4phone.fr had the September 12 date first. Then, last month, iMore.com got involved with their own rumor: Apple would announce a new iPhone and a new iPad Mini on the same day. Later, in a rumor reminiscent of the “Apple will refresh the entire Mac line!” rumor in the days before WWDC, iMore reported that...

Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online I’ve said it once before. I’ve even made incredibly clumsy references to a Radiohead album: Everything is in its right place. Although, on second thought, if I were going to go down that path, perhaps I should have went with “Jigsaw Falling Into Place?” Oh Hindsight, thy name is beach. All these Radiohead references are meant to say, People Get Ready. Things are starting to fall into place for an imminent iPhone...
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online Remember those Apple TV rumors? Earlier this year, it seemed all we in the Apple press could talk about was Apple’s inevitable entrance to the television box market, Steve Jobs’ famous “I cracked it” comments, and by how much Apple would crush any competitors that might stand in between Cupertino and total domination. It’s not entirely clear what happened to our collective excitement about this fantasy box. As rumors of...
