Apple plots store revamp to boost sales, bring back Genius Bars
Apple is reportedly revamping its retail stores to prioritize purchases over community use, bringing back dedicated Genius Bars, removing large video walls, and redesigning the 'Avenue' areas for online order pickup and Today at Apple workshops. New wood fixtures will be integrated into the design, while staff face stricter rules—standing during pre-opening meetings, no drinking or device use, and mandatory applause for opening customers.
