I don't think the Red Raven camera is exclusive to Apple Stores.

It is exclusive to Apple for now. Dealers might be able to get one for you in the future... (Interesting exchange: "Why is Raven also not available in the RED store? I don't understand that. Jarred Land -Read the title of the post.. had to give , to get " -  the title of the post is "Sometimes you need to Give to Get. ")
They (Red) are barely catching up with the pre-orders that happened more than a year ago and now they are ready to ship from Apple - wow.

Jarred Land (CEO of Red) said that Apple was able to get this from Red because of the new Mac Pro - he kind of implied that he'd seen the plans for it or even a prototype and said that Apple is finally back on the Pro train.
(Found it: "Apple gets Raven only because of their new investment into their Mac pro hardware program. That was the deal. Sometimes you gotta take one for the team to push for a much bigger cause. I hope everyone can read between those lines and congratulate apple for putting some skin back in the game that so many assumed they just abandoned.")

Remember when Red announced an android phone? The $1200 modular Hydrogen with holographic display? The only phone I've ever seen that would make me give up iPhone?

Maybe that never happens and instead there's a RED edition iPhone 8...

I had a few thoughts about the Hydrogen being the iPhone X... that would be cool.

Red has loved Apple throughout the years. But lately they've had to look at PC crap because of the lacking CPU and GPU support in Apple boxes. The first time I met Jim (founder of Red) was at an Apple event in Vegas right before the reveal of the Red One where he turned the cinema camera world upside down. I've been an advocate ever since.

Um, we've been doing on-set editing for a few years now... on Macs of course...

 lenticular lens array.

 Jannard said specifically that it is not lenticular.

I bought a titanium model...

I've met Jim a few times and have made a TON of money off of his cameras (which were also thought to be a scam).

I hate that it's Android - I'm not giving up my iPhone, but if it's JUST a remote for one of their newer cameras, it's already worth it. I suppose they didn't have a choice for the OS.

Jim is a billionaire many times over, so he's not just trying to get a few bucks and disappear. He's a passionate image freak and puts his money and time where his mouth is.

Worst case you get your money back. Red has always offered a no-questions-asked refund on the spot when ordering their products. They go above and beyond what even Apple does for their customers.

And another thing don't companies list on stock exchanges to raise capital with a quater of a trillion in the bank why is Apple still there

Because all of the people that gave that money for stock still owned the stock and have either kept it or sold it... Apple is trying to buy back it's shares, but there are so many of them, it takes a long time and a lot of money to do so.
Don't count on them being off the stock exchange in the next 20 years at least.
