Bose products reportedly coming back to the Apple Store http://goo.gl/N2GtuA

After being absent from Apple's retail locations and online store for over a month, Bose products are now set to return to the Apple Store. 9to5Mac reports that Bose headphones and speakers, which compete with products from Apple's Beats brand, are due back in the coming days. Just like before, they'll be available both online and in-store, so if someone you know has a SoundLink Mini on their Christmas list, you should soon (once again) be able to visit your nearest Apple Store to take care of it. Nothing's there just yet, but it shouldn't be long before Apple once again becomes a Bose reseller.

Their repaired business relationship suggests that Apple and Bose are back on the same page after a contentious few months that saw the two electronics makers at odds with one another. Earlier this year, they settled to narrowly avoid a courtroom battle over noise-cancellation patents,. Bose has also tried to boost its own headphone line by signing an exclusive pact with the NFL — locking out Beats in the process. But that move has failed to pull many professional athletes away from Beats. Even so, the aggressive tactics may have irritated Apple and played into its decision to boot Bose from its lucrative retail shops in mid-October. Now it would appear the deteriorating relationship has taken a turn for the better.
