From DailyTech: Excerpts of an alleged memo from Apple, Inc.'s (AAPL) retail chief Angela Ahrendts were posted by the UK newspaper Telegraph on Thursday. According to the text of the memo, Apple has pulled the plug on in-store sales of Apple Watches until June, instead exclusively selling to customers via its online store.
The memo explicitly states:
"Are we going to launch every product this way from now on? No. We all love those blockbuster Apple product launch days - and there will be many more to come
It's important to remember that Apple Watch is not just a new product but an entirely new category for us. There's never been anything quite like it. To deliver the kind of service our customers have come to expect - and that we expect from ourselves - we designed a completely new approach. That's why, for the first time, we are previewing a new product in our stores before it has started shipping."
