  "summary": "Ron Johnson joined Apple in 2000 to develop the company's physical stores. At the time, conventional wisdom predicted online shopping would replace in-person stores, making the venture a risky bet. Johnson's experience at Apple is detailed in his new book, \"Shop Different\".\n\nJohnson worked closely with Steve Jobs during his tenure at Apple. In a live Q&A with Business Insider, Johnson discussed his time at Apple and his approach to leadership, which he describes as leading with kindness.\n\nThere is no information in the reports about the iPhone Duo or Apple releasing game controllers for iPhone. The reports do not mention any iPhone 18 Pro or new Apple Watches being tested, nor do they mention macOS Golden Gate.",
