Apple Store Near Sydney Reopens With All-New Design Later This Month

[MacRumors]

Apple has announced that its retail store at the Chatswood Chase shopping mall in Australia will reopen on Thursday, October 30, at 9:30 a.m. local time.

Apple is expected to release new products this month, and the company's next earnings call is on October 30, so the store could be reopening during a busy launch week.

Apple Chatswood Chase has been closed for renovations since July 2024. When it reopens, it will feature an all-new design and updated amenities, including an Apple Pickup station for customers to collect orders placed through Apple's online store. Apple has yet to share photos of the new store, though, so the exact design remains to be seen.

Chatswood Chase is located in the Sydney suburb of Chatswood, on the North Shore.

Earlier this month, Apple permanently closed its store in Hornsby, which is located further north on Sydney's North Shore. Apple said all affected retail employees would be given the opportunity to work at the Chatswood Chase store.

Elsewhere in Australia, Apple moved its store in Perth into a historic bank building in June.

Thanks, @AbstracTech!

I heard that it's opening with a giant protruding rectangular sign that has an embedded cooling system that's very efficient.

The Australian government should designate it a tourist spot and recirculate traffic around it to improve the consumer experience.

One new feature is the genius plateau, a raised area with tables. Apple warns that the step up has high precision razor sharp edges and recommends use of shin “bumpers” when visiting.

At most it would be directed to Willoughby City Council and let them handle it. And even then, how many would really care? I doubt many Chatswood residents would care, nearly all of them are rich btw.

Huh? Isn’t apples responsibility to make sure all of those surfaces accessible by the general public safe to touch? Why it is the visitors responsibility to safeguard themselves?

Better have a vapour chamber

I wonder if it will feature 70% of the product tables filled with iPhones.

Glad it is reopening - but still bitter that the Hornsby store (my local) is closed. Hopefully the rest of the chase is an improved experience too after all this time.
