Apple's iconic Fifth Avenue store in New York City is normally open 24/7, but it will be closed overnight on some days this week.

According to Apple's website, the store will be closed between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. local time starting Wednesday evening until Saturday morning.

The store already closed briefly on Monday.

Apple is closing the store to complete maintenance on the store's glass cube entrance, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Apple's official explanation is "cube preservation."

Opened in 2006, Apple Fifth Avenue features a street-level glass cube entrance, leading to an underground store. Apple's CEO Tim Cook and other company executives often attend the store for major new product launches.

The store's cube has been outfitted with everything from a giant Apple Vision Pro headset outline to colorful Siri glow in recent years.

Hard to believe that they are open 24/7!

Only Apple Store in the entire world open 24/7

My favorite NYC store has always been Grand Central though:

Apparently it’s the only one. I would love it if Apple Stores and everything else was open 24/7 because I’d rather shop without crowds. I understand security and staffing issues make that impractical though.

It's great that it's 24/7, I've been there at 2 or 3 am before to get support at the Genius Bar.
 
As Vision Pro was mentioned, waiting for someone to post "that matters to all the 7 people who bought one..." like the joke was original and never mentioned 10,000 times before by others. Hilarity prevails!

AH, Apple Store Fifth Avenue, the Louvre of all shops. ;)


But, yeah, being open 24/7 is interesting. Has anyone ever visited the store at, say 3AM? How was ist?

I've visited a bit after midnight a couple times when I was in the area hosting visitors. And once a friend facetimed me from inside about 2am as a joke (I said I preferred the sparse crowds later after midnight).
