Maybe, but there are always going to be exceptions and this is Canada not US. My experience in the Apple store was that they ignored me and I finally grabbed one and told him what I wanted (I had already researched beforehand). I would agree they are a world apart from places like Best Buy or Microcenter where if you go in ignorant you will leave even more ignorant with some piece of crap they are trying to get rid of.
Desktops remain more capable than anything portable, in particular phones. The mobile machines do one thing, and that is, be mobile.
Desktops will always be more powerful than phones, or even laptops. It's a matter of power demands and physical space; anything you can fit into a laptop, you can fit four of in a desktop. What has changed in the last decade or so, the reason desktops are in decline, is that laptops have become way more than powerful enough for most of the tasks that most people perform, and they've gotten a lot less expensive.
