Those are very selectively manipulated stats chosen to make apple look like a reality distortion field.

Apple has few stores relative to sales. By far the biggest disparity for any consumer manufacturer. Of course they have more sales per square foot/per retail employee/etc etc.

Which is mainly because they don’t need retail sales. They opened stores primarily for service and training (Apples big push has always been the Genius Bar and classes), but tax wise and zoning wise you’re incentivized to be retail space nearly everywhere. Teaching boomers how to switch to a Mac literally made them billions.
