Steve is dead...
Well, it may seem a bit silly, but they are in good company, as there is a fine tradition of shaping your shop like your product:
No with a premium apple product.480p? Was the video shot with a potato?
That looks ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!
Apple is building a new flagship retail location in Chicago, which features glass walls and a thin, carbon fiber roof. Photos of the store's roof were shared today by Chicago news site DNAinfo, and as it turns out, Apple has added a white Apple logo that wasn't in the original plans, making the top of the structure look a lot like an Apple notebook.
The roof is made from a material that resembles the silver aluminum of the MacBook and MacBook Pro, with rounded edges and the same rectangular shape. When complete, it will sit atop all-glass walls, making for a unique floating MacBook-style design that's not quite like any other Apple Store.
The new store, which is located near the historic Michigan Avenue Bridge alongside the Chicago River, has been designed by longtime Apple partner Foster+Partners in homage of architect Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style homes in Chicago.
Based on plans from 2015, the building spans 20,000 square feet and replaces a vacant food court. It features two floors, with a flight of stairs that go from street level to a walkway next to the north bank of the river.
There is no word yet on when the new store will be opening, but construction is nearing completion.

The next Apple Retail Store will resemble a giant iPhone 6 Plus. The walls and floor will bend if there are enough customers over the Occupancy Limit.
Do you get to order by talking into a clown's mouth?
Skeuomorphism on a whole new level
