(Except maybe the one day a year it's closed.)Īs for the bed bugs that caused Apple to close the store for 24 hours earlier this year, well, an Apple representative told Engadget the issue "hasn't come up in a while." So, if you happen to be in New York City and want to check out the new cube, that probably means you can do so with peace of mind. The company didn't say how many visitors it's expecting for the rest of the year, but considering the cube is one of NYC's most photographed locations, it's safe to say you'll never see the store as empty as in these pictures.

Apple also added a backlit ceiling made from a white 3D fabric that mixes artificial and natural light to match sunlight tones on any given day.

With stainless steel being such a key feature of Apple products nowadays, it's not surprising the company is finding ways to integrate the material into its stores.īut the biggest difference, is just how much brighter it is inside the actual store. Instead, they're now made out of stainless steel as are the 43 stair treads that are designed to support the floating glass cylinder, which has always been the main entrance to the store. The first changed I noticed walking down the spiral staircase is that the steps aren't glass anymore, as they were since the late Steve Jobs brought Apple Fifth Avenue to life in 2006. And frankly, it doesn't just feel renovated, it feels like a completely new store, especially underground, where everything is brighter and more spacious than before.
Before it opens to the public tomorrow, though, we got a sneak peak.

Just in time for the launch of the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, Apple is finally re-opening the doors to its flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
