A big tell is how many cranes are in the air. I would imagine most of these videos are shot on the weekend, but I have witnessed a flyover around 12:15pm when we are on break.
Got a tip for us?

An unfinished construction site looks like a good place to work? To me, that seems like it would be a distracting, dangerous place to work...
Whilst I think the Auditorium cylinder looks incredible, there's no gutter detail!
The General Section seems to confirm this too.

Foster, what a rookie
EDIT:
I've been investigating.
Below you can see something that might possibly be a shallow surface drainage.
The underside shows steelwork that might integrate drainage, but I'm really not sure.

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I'm always trying to think of creative ways to incorporate the cranes into my shots.
Just be careful not to incorporate the crane into your propellers.
Your flying skills getting better with every video. Still hoping silently you'll fly into the building searching for Tim's office.

Since the Campus runs on recycled water, they must be capturing all the rain water they can.
As you surmise, those slits most probably are the gutters.
Don't get me wrong. I'm happy with whatever you share. Thank you for that. It's just feedback so do with it whatever you like.
Someone ought to speed up one of these flyover videos add add Samsung-brand X-wing starfighters looking for the thermal exhaust port.
Maybe in time for next year's anniversary iPhone announcement (in June 2017?). Introducing the new iPhone X at the new campus would be awesome!!!
Just so you know... Apple's flyover data for the spaceship was updated on the day of their march event.
Just thought it's a fun little easter egg.

I was like "OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOOOOOOOINGGGGG"
People don't know how hard these things really are to fly. Major kudos to the pilot.
Why? Apple has tens of thousands of employees in building they don't even own within 5 miles around this building.
They'll probably save money long term by moving there.
Fitness Center? Those people are going to be in great shape just because of all the walking that will be necessary in that complex. "Bob, I'm going to walk over to HR. I should be back in 3 or 4 days..."
Which is not to say this isn't an amazing concept and structure. I hope to see it in person some day...
Why don't they all just work from home?
No need for a new headquarters, then. They can sit at their computers, munch on their pizzas and not move an inch. Atrophy.
