Wraps Come Down at Apple's Grand Central Terminal Store for Media Day [Updated: Apple Press Release]

[Gemütlichkeit]

Reminds me of an art gallery. Crazy layout.

Anyone knows what lamps are used over the machines? I'm talking about the super thin strip ones.

Not available for public release, Jony Ive designed it

They are wearing red for the holiday season

That's news to me (Slum my head), then they should wear a Santa's hat also.

I wonder if these are Christmas t-shirts or holiday t-shirts...

Apple just released a 12 days of Christmas App for Europe so you decide.

Looks very handicapped inaccessible with those stairs in between. Though I am sure Apple thought of a solution.

Also, those elevators, if one were to take them, wouldn't someone from another floor be able to just open the elevator right into the Apple store?

 

[iVituperative]

True...

That's one sexy and unique store.

...but, can't really be considered a 'super store' without its own Starbucks.

 

[Amazing Iceman]

In a few years, when someone inevitably (and unnecessarily) decides to remake that "Hackers" movie - the heroes will just walk into the Apple store instead of hacking the public phone to get an internet connection.

Or just have coffee at Starbuck's while hacking.

Those lamps seem to be using Jumbo LED strips. As someone has already mentioned these lamps may not be for sale, but you may be able to build your own if you have the time, money, materials, tools and patience.

I have seen LED strips in several stores, so you maybe able to fit them into a different metal structure. Oh well, I'll leave it up to your imagination.

Why do they have red shirts? I thought red was for AppleCare and blue was for retail

All retail store employees are wearing red shirts for the holiday season.

I see, didn't know that.
And seriously, why was my perfectly honest and innocent question downvoted? What the heck is wrong with these forums?...
