"Apple Executive Seeks a Touch of Chic at Retail Stores" ["Angela Ahrendts, Apple's senior vice president of retail, got a private demonstration of the fancy wireless speaker, the Phantom, and its sound quality seven weeks ago. On the spot, she said she wanted the space podlike device, which starts at $1,990, to be sold in Apple's retail stores. ... The move is an indication of how Ms. Ahrendts, who started at Apple last year, is changing the playbook at some of the iPhone maker's stores this holiday season and the direction she's going in: ultraluxe."]
