Steve Jobs has officially taken over the world. His brand’s cult-like following came out in droves when the big Apple came to Boston this spring with the launch of an ultra-chic glass-façade flagship store (815 Boylston Street, Boston, 617.385.9400). This 20,000-square-foot home of techno-crack includes 64 iPod options, 104 computers, and a 100-station “genius bar.” And for those shoppers who don’t know an iPhone from a Shuffle (is that possible?), even they can’t help but browse and appreciate the three floors of gadgets. What’s even hotter? This store is a green Apple, complete with a vegetation-covered roof.
