They should just keep it like this. Just a giant cube in the middle of a major city. No tables with products. No people. Just a giant Apple logo on a beautiful building

I'm guessing you've never actually seen the Fifth Avenue cube store? The tables, products and people are all below ground, so it actually does look like that. (Actually, it now has different glass panels, but otherwise it looks like that).

Never been there sounds awesome.

I just assumed this was a store that had just finished being constructed but not fully set up for retail yet

I really hope they are going to open one here. There is a major market here for Apple and, currently, they are giving it away to other companies.

Vanilla Cracker. Here is a picture I took last summer below the "cube". It has to be the busiest store of them all.

Hahah that's sick! Apple is so awesome

Now if apple would just stop manufacturing iPhone 5S' with rattling power buttons, I could finally stop the "love-hate" aspect of our relationship

Maybe you'll be among those thirty new stores for the coming year, twenty of which will be outside the US.

Curious, since Apple Ireland spends so much on R&D....

Meanwhile, nobody finds the new Apple stores outside the US because the used Apple's Maps.
