See reliable type mostly guarding Apple store? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bishopric

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'see' is the definition.
(both can mean a bishop's associated area)

'reliable type mostly guarding apple store?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'store?' could be 'shop' (synonyms) and 'shop' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bishopric that I've seen before include "Church office" , "Phobic sir (anag)" , "Episcopate" , "See - diocese" , "position of a minister" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
