Made it to the opening. Got there at 9am for the 10am opening and was close to the front of the line. Chatted with iJustine. High fived Tim on the way in. Tim hung out for at least the hour and a half (time while I was there) chatting with celebs and regular folk. So much media. Excellent music but the real star is the Tower Theatre restoration. . It is nothing short of SPECTACULAR !!
Yesss, no facemasks, touching everyones hands and hugging randoms.
May the COVID rule last a millenia

I thought we went over this already. STOP POSTING iJustine
The coronavirus capital of the world is Wuhan China, where it came from.
It's kinda striking that he's the head of Apple and doesn't need to wear a mask, yet most of their store employees are still required to do so.
On another note... does he have to wear long sleeve shirts and pants everywhere he goes? it's been like 85 degrees here in SoCal every day the past week or so.
Influencers are the western version of third world begging children
at the time I definitely knew about mp3 players, but I WANTED an iPod. It was a great device.
Agreed.
It's just hilarious to me to see that all someone has to do is post a picture of her in an article not concerning her and it brings out the commentary. It's hilarious. Then again, we have a lot of anti-Apple people on this site and forum somehow, so there you go. Apparently a successful person who happens to love Apple products and loves to talk about them is worthy of such outrage and junior high-level namecalling. I mean when you have people using the F word (the 6 letter one) about someone loving Apple products on a *Apple* fan forum, obviously the proverbial trolls have been released from the dungeons. Or calling someone a simp/shill/etc. Then again anyone who uses the word simp is immediately reduced to junior high level status anyway. I'm not saying everyone has to love Apple all the time as much as I or Justine might, but if you are here just for the Android and Windows subforums mostly and you post mostly only negative takes on Apple or anti-Apple commentary, you need to leave. It's toxic.
It's a thinly veiled homophobic comment. Best just to ignore it and not give them their 5 seconds of attention they are looking for.
Yes, Apple markets their products. As do all successful companies; tech and non-tech alike. I hope you don't believe you're the only one that knows that, believing everyone else is therefore oblivious.
And just because Apple is a successful company designing and manufacturing products people want to buy, does not mean they're all oblivious sheep as you seem to imply in Apple's ad taking a dig at IBM and its CEO John Opel (the man on the screen) - and you're the only one who gets it.
Apple is successful because they develop computers/phones and accessories that people want to buy (year after year after year), are in general well-supported, and seamlessly work together. Are they perfect? Of course not. But they're at least an order of magnitude better than what competitors are offering.
well...we know that she is a big fan of apple by the I in hear YouTube channel's name
I am confused between these no masks and celebrations in gatherings and the long credits at the end of the Apple virtual event showing how much precaution was taken to keep distance and ensure all possible COVID19 spread precautions were taken
You must be new to planet Earth - - welcome!
Calm down. It’s only a shop.
Jealous?
You think there’s no Covid in LA?
The behaviour shown in those photos was utterly irresponsible. At least one person there is likely to have had Covid, and passed it on; probably more.
The guy that was with the door by Tim Cook should be over the moon. Multi-million dollars lawsuit coming....
I will say that Apple is one of the few companies who actually bakes in proper support for their hardware features.
For example, their high res screens are backed up with proper scaling in their OS and apps. Something that windows still has problems doing properly even till this day.
When iPhones had 3D Touch, developers actually bothered to support said feature in their apps. Compared to a company like say Huawei which debuted a similar feature in their phones, their only gimmick was weighing an orange, and we never hear of it ever again.
Apple is not the first company with fingerprint sensors or facial recognition, but their implementation sets the bar.
Apple focuses on fewer, faster cores on their iOS devices, not to win a spec sheet, but for better overall performance and battery life.
Apple doesn’t bother with the megapixel camera race either. Fewer, larger pixels, with software optimised to ensure more consistently good shots. And iOS apps that actually make proper use of the camera API (Snapchat anyone?).
For me, this is the value add when I buy Apple products. I don’t just buy a high res display or a paper spec. I am buying Apple’s specific implementation thereof, which I trust will be in a manner that results in a great user experience for me.
Literally every cell phone manufacturer sold in NA has a branded term for their display and for several other ”standard features” on their phone. It’s very basic marketing, and while marketing can be considered “brainwashing“ it isn’t something Apple does differently than the competition. Retina doesn’t just mean high resolution, it means high-enough resolution to have individual pixels be indiscernible to the human eye at regular viewing distances. It doesn’t mean **** to the general consumer but neither does the INFINITY-O display in a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G.
The Magic Mouse comments are really weird because it’s one of the most widely criticized products I can think of that Apple still sells. People also aren’t ”Apple consumers”. They are consumers who chose to buy a thing by Apple. No one here is thick enough to try to broad-stroke define someone as an “LG-consumer” because they bought a TV and cell phone from a popular electronics company.
Your take on the 1984 ad is one that’s been said a thousand times, and it continues to be a indicator of logical problems with the poster. “Apple consumers” (again? sheesh) were not the ones who “called-out” anything with that commercial. The commercial was commissioned by Apple and what again is being called-out in the commercial? Are you deliberately divorcing the content of the ad from the context in which it was made and shown? The IBM-era was a much different time.
ABSOLUTELY NOT. No other company has a cult of brand to the point where you have cheerleaders and people running, high-fiving eachother as they run into a store just to get their shiny new gadget.
Only Apple has this kind of following. iJustine made a career out of it.
I know it’s the internet and people always have to rant about every little thing they don’t like with every topic.
But…can we try to find something positive to say instead of going straight to the negative?
IMO the store looks good and I’m glad they‘re able to revive the theater. I look forward to visiting one day when things are better pandemic wise.

I mean actual cheerleaders do cheerlead for many brands, but we can put that aside.
iJustine is a business, not a normal consumer by any standard. Her behaviour is not indicative of the masses who happen to buy an iPhone when they shop at their cellular carrier every few years. That’s how most people actually behave.
Further, other than a few fist bumps and excited photos, 90% of the excitement and cheering shown in the CNBC video was done by Apple employees.
