143. Ever been in an Apple store?

I know people who will only buy their Apple products from an actual brick and mortar type Apple store. I suspect it's because they don't have a clue how to set them up themselves, but have to have the gadget anyway. It's not like a regular store. When you walk in a person will ask you what you're looking for, then after deciding what you want they send the info via text to another associate. That associate walks up with your product in hand before you even realized you've made a decision and hands it to you. Then they hustle you off to another associate who then holds your hand while they have you unbox and enable the device and its features. Then they send you out into the world wielding your new enabled device. I doubt many ever mess with their settings again after that first day unless they're having problems with their device. Even then a lot of people will simply walk back into the Apple store and have an associate again hold their hand while they change the settings.

I think a lot of us make the mistake of assuming everyone buys their devices the same way we did, understands what the devices do and use them like we do. Which simply isn't the case in this day and age. As to the average persons understanding of remote storage (clouds), they honestly haven't a clue what it is or how it works. They just know that when they get their next phone/tablet, etc. all their stuff magically reappears there after they log into their account. Where it was before it showed back up on their device is not something they've ever even contemplated.
