New Apple Store Opening Soon in Berlin With Special Wallpaper Available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac

[MacRumors]

Apple recently announced that it will soon be opening a second retail store in the heart of Berlin. The store will be located on the popular Rosenthaler Strasse shopping street in Mitte, the historic center of Germany's capital city.

Apple has yet to share a specific opening date for the Rosenthaler Strasse store, which will accompany Apple's existing Kurfürstendamm store in Berlin.

Twitter account Storeteller has shared some photos of the Rosenthaler Strasse store, which is covered in a colorful facade ahead of its grand opening. Apple is also offering matching wallpapers for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac on its website.

Apple operates over 500 retail stores worldwide, including a newly relocated store at The Grove in Los Angeles and a new store in Istanbul, Turkey.

I live in Berlin. Guess the wallpaper is a reference to the pipes we have for construction sites here. There have been a lot of these in the whole city in recent years. Pink pipes in Berlin

Also with alternative payment options? like PayPal, Venmo etc... ?

The Ku'damm store is basically in the old West Berlin city center. The new one is just off Hackescher Markt and a lot closer to the actual center of the city. I'm happy because it'll be a shorter trip for me if I need hardware service or anything.

I'm loving me some the Internet is a series of tubes.

I wonder if this is because there are a lot of magenta pipes in Berlin due to groundwater problems:

Those are some pipes indeed.

That's great - I can walk there within just 10 mins! Finally will be able to hang out in Apple Land whenever I feel like it ?

Please keep all your Apple stuff at home when you go. Anything with Apple Pay could be used as well, so make sure that you visit financially disabled if you intend to hang out often.

I speak from some experience, I tell you.

- This October, I have bought 2 iPhone 12 minis, then a 13 mini.
- Then in November I have bought the top stock config 2021 MacBook Pro 16 inch and a 45mm Apple Watch series 7.
- I will buy a Graphite Milanese loop and an Olive Grey/ Cargo Khaki sport band as well.
- Meanwhile, I am reading about AirPods.

You get the drift.

Keep your finances locked if you want to visit Apple Land. I did not intend to buy a single one of these. The phones and the computer were being contemplated for purchase next year, not this. Some discounts from online retailers made me go ahead with the iPhone 12 minis. Great trade-in value for my 8 made me go for the 13 mini.

Then, the beautiful 16" MacBook Pro powerhouse kept nagging me. Suddenly I also decided to plunge in and get the Watch as well. And now I am looking at AirPods, like I said. This is a rabbit hole.

I believe the pipes are a remnant from the DDR (East Germany), when hot water (especially for heating during the winter) was centrally heated in massive industrial complexes then distributed through these pipes to all buildings (commercial, government, residential) throughout the city.

After reunification, individual boilers were introduced into each building as needed, rendering these hot water distribution systems obsolete.
