“employees partake in formal meetings that may be held in large conference rooms while they're walking around the circumference of Apple Park to promote creativity.” Er…OK. Perhaps something was lost in the translation.

There was probably more interesting footage from that Apple employees daughter who was in the company canteen recording stuff about the yet to be released iphone which she uploaded to social media. Her father was sacked for that incident.

"if we can imagine something, then we can create it"

Sometimes good stuff comes from ignoring the question of should something be created. Other times you get the Trashcan Mac Pro.
 
Ya, boy, Apple is really pushing the limits.... Except they're not. I'm an Apple guy but my Android buddy's latest phones always sport things that Apple adopts a year or two later. Ya, we may get some better AI stuff, but the hardware innovation is so incremental these days. The biggest splash seems to be edge design ;(

My buddy's folding Samsung, 3rd gen, was pretty impressive, 48megapixl cam, notchless punch thru cameras, and the image management display switching when opening the screen was pretty impressive. So, there's that.

But hey, who doesn't like a rainbow coalition of new emoji's every year...

I've skipped the 13, and just might play with a Samsung for the first time.

I tried to use iOS Translate app on the video. It couldn't translate the conversation...it sucked (C'est nul!).

The Translate app should be able to record a conversation (E.g. From a video) then translate it. Apple needs to convert "should" to "can".
 
Wallpaper Magazine got an exclusive look as well a couple of weeks ago. The issue is available to read in Apple News+

When Steve Jobs designed Apple Park, he wanted to create the office building of the future.

An even cooler trick would be designing an office building in the past. I think that requires a DeLorean though.
The DeLorean would have to be equipped with a flux capacitor. Mr Fusion and a hover conversion would be helpful too.
 
Interesting timing... when majority of employees do not want (or need) to be in an office to complete work causing apple to "rethink" it's return to office demands, mysteriously an propaganda article publishes how "cool" the place is...

COVID has changed the way we work. Billion dollar offices aren't required for most employees to complete any form of job... wonder how long until they carve this thing up to leases.
 


French news channel TF1 has gained rare and exclusive access into Apple Park, calling it "one of the most secret places on the Planet" while speaking to top Apple executives, such as its senior vice president of marketing, Greg Joswiak, and more.

In Cupertino, California, Apple Park‌ is rarely accessible to anyone who isn't an Apple employee. Before the global health crisis, Apple held in-person events at the campus, but those, even, were severely limited, with guests being limited to the Steve Jobs Theater and not the main building itself.

TF1 has shared new footage inside ‌Apple Park‌, showing staff members talking [about] and presumably working on the next generation of Apple's products, software, and services.

As expected, the footage doesn't offer any glimpse of unreleased products, with even some of it featuring blurred views of offices and rooms where new and unreleased products may be held. The faces of Apple employees are also blurred in the segment to protect their identity.

TF1 said that during their stay at Apple Park, many doors remain closed and everywhere they filmed followed negotiations with Apple. Speaking to TF1, Greg Joswiak, otherwise known as Joz, said when Steve Jobs conceived Apple Park, he wanted to create an office for the future.

The report adds employees partake in formal meetings that may be held in large conference rooms while they're walking around the circumference of Apple Park to promote creativity. Apple is on track to become the world's first-ever $3 trillion company, and Joz said that he believes Apple is "in a position where if we can imagine something, then we can create it. We can make it real."

One of Apple's top priorities is health, and during their time at Apple Park, the TF1 crew had a chance to speak to Dr. Sumbul Desai, Apple's vice president of health. "Our goal is to provide data that is useful to users and also to their doctors. We don't want to replace this doctor-patient relationship, but we want to improve it," said Dr. Desai.

"What is very important is that users can choose element by element what data they authorize and Apple does not receive and see any of your data. They remain inside the device," she added regarding the privacy of users' health data.

TF1 also spoke to Lisa Jackson, Apple's vice president of the environment, about the company's initiatives and efforts in protecting the environment. Apple Park itself is covered with solar panels on its roof, helping to reduce its carbon footprint and energy usage. "This is what our customers expect. And for us, it means being more attentive to the materials we use, reusing some of them and innovating to take this recycling into account from the design of our products," Jackson said.

The full almost four-minute French segment of TF1's exclusive look into Apple Park can be found here.

Seems it is nothing more than an over priced museum at this point. I wonder what could have been done with the $5 Billion this cost.

The same old story year after year.
Dude, if you wanna go Samsung, just go Samsung! It's not like we care...

We saw more in a keynote ?
Haaaaaa… our neighbors always exclusive, always better, champion du monde!
 
Is this what you are looking for?

He was probably talking about some sort of fixed camera timelapse showing the entire process of Apple Park's construction, from grounding to outside details and landscaping. I don't think such video exists...

There are several drone shot videos like this one from all the construction phases, though...
 
Is this what you are looking for?

Not exactly. I was thinking more of the ones where they mount a camera in one location and then shot a few frames a day during the whole construction process without moving the camera. So it looks like the whole thing is growing out of the ground when you turn the frames into a motion picture.
 
Pour beaucoup d'entre nous, le bâtiment est plus intéressant et fomentant de curiosité que votre CIA, votre FBI ou votre Maison Blanche. Oui, les zones à l'intérieur du bâtiment sont sans aucun doute banales et typiques des autres immeubles de bureaux, mais comme l'a écrit Goethe : "La musique est une architecture liquide, et l'architecture est de la musique figée dans le temps". Le bâtiment est un iMac géant, un iPhone et plus encore, et il est intemporel. Dans 50 ans, il aura l'air tout aussi bon, tout aussi frais qu'aujourd'hui. Je n'arrive pas à croire que les employés d'Apple préfèrent travailler à domicile plutôt que de rejoindre leurs collègues pour la productivité dans cet incroyable bâtiment.
Oh vomit. I don't know why I would have thought this, but I didn't realise that there are mindless fanbois in France too.
 
wait for the building to pop up on realtor.com and zillow. should have plenty of pics. listing price should be interesting.

Which means they didn’t see anything, even those “normal” mundane areas. Apple, please keep up the work in secrecy as that’ll surely pay off in the next decade /s.
