The issue is Apples consumer products really do need a wider distribution than 
simple apple centred stores.
So I expect some to simply be product stockist such as target etc, and more 
upmarket services run by apple direct.

As given the turnover requirements for a Apple retail store, they just don't 
suit certain market.  THough I would say looking at the JB Hifi figures I think 
they would have grouped in all the additional accessories people buy for their 
apple products not made by Apple to get to 30%.
