Neither.
There’s a reason Apple reports “Shipments” instead of “Sales”.
In order to get the “honour” of selling apple crap, a retailer has to commit to a certain dollar value of inventory-on-hand.
If those units collect dust in that retailers back-room, Apple doesn’t give a shit. And it’s notoriously difficult to RMA unsold product to them.

Since when is Apple selling computers through Staples?
They sell phones, tablets and watches at basically every electronics place.
Ok, but this is about computers, not phones, tablets and watches.
Up here in Canada, Staples has been dealing MacBooks since at least 2015or so. (when I was there)
Edited because my old brain had to remember the dates.
In 2013, we started selling ipads. it was a few years later that they added MacBooks
Interesting…
