I think it will either be replaced with a "store within a store", as with the US deal with Best Buy, or it will just end. It's trickier for iPhones though as Apple needs CPW and O2 for the retail presence. They can only hope to keep plugging away at their partners' lack of retailing finesse...

Honestly, I've been disgusted... MacBooks with keys broken off, Mac minis with the no monitor or no mouse are just a few of the travesties! No wonder they started their own chain of stores.
