Alaska is quite clearly part of the North American continent, so "continental" United States is incorrect. Determining which Alaskan community is furthest from an Apple store by land may be quite problematic, though.[IFO -- Geography! I should have paid attention to Mrs. Hunt in third-grade!] I think you mean the “lower 48″ US states.

Alaska doesn't have any Apple stores, does it? I assume that by “any other U.S. city” you mean “any other city in the continental U.S.”. Alaska doesn’t have any Apple stores, does it?

Also, mileage-wise they may be closer, but in terms of how long it would take to get from one of the other islands of Hawaii to Oahu and then to get to one of the stores there may take longer due to the availability of flights and driving definitely not being an option at all.
