Apple Rosenthaler Strasse, the second store in Berlin, opened on December 2, 2021.

Huh, thank you. I didn’t know, obviously.
Still, too few imo. I’m not even from Berlin but would have to go there to get first party service.
 
Wow this looks pretty ? does the UAE still have no sales tax? I remember when I went to the Dubai Mall and randomly crossed through the Apple Store to get a nice view of the fountains from the balcony, I ended up leaving with an iPad Pro ?
Actually there is 5% VAT that has began in 2018 which is very reasonable.
 
The craftsmanship behind their store design in various parts of the world is just stunning. Just visiting alone in UAE would be an experience.
Yeah, I'm in RTP/RDU area in NC and we have nothing like this. At. All. Just boring "mall" stores. Well, they did redo the one in the Raleigh mall, and it is nice.. but nothing on this level. And yes yes I know, "city ordinances", "rules", "market forces/revenue potential", and other "realities" are the true factors. I understand all the "why", but just (unfairly/irrationally) comparing the apples and oranges, we have nothing like this.

Stunning designs, countless millions to build a "water floor/steps"... beautiful and impressive! Well done, Apple. Very well done. Gorgeous, indeed.
