    There’s one thing that Google also needs that Apple is dominating, and that is physical stores.

    I love Apple Stores. You go inside, play around, get your phone fixed, and learn more about the stuff you have or want to own. It’s exclusively Apple, and they’re found inside malls, remote locations, and are tourist attractions. You have workers there who are deep in the product knowledge and can make recommendations based on your needs.

    As a teenager, my buddies and I loved this. It was a place that we would always have to stop by when we went to the mall to window shop.

    You want to buy the Google Pixel? You have to go to the carrier store, that’s unless you have any of the main carriers. If you want to buy unlocked then your only real choice is online or Best Buy. The problem to that is that those both have different phone options so it’s no longer comparisons between the products GOOGLE sell, it’s comparisons between Samsung, OnePlus, Apple, etc.

    Samsung also has some stores, but it’s dull in comparison to Apple, unless you’re in let’s say South Korea.
