Apple opened a new flagship store in Chicago, Illinois, on Friday, and reporter Charlie Wojciechowski of NBC affiliate WMAQ caught up with CEO Tim Cook outside the store.

Cook noted that Apple's first flagship store (outside a few mall stores) was in Chicago 14 years ago. He also told him that the main point of this store, as with all Apple stores, is for people to connect -- a point Apple retail chief Angela Ahrendts made earlier in the day.
