Apple’s 512th retail shop globally and the first floating one, called the “Apple Marina Bay Sands” has strategically been positioned on Singapore’s water-front. From the outside, the futuristic round structure of this outlandish outlet looks shiny and metallic in colour, with futuristic-looking lines running across the diameter of its lower half.
The entrance of the structure, which is placed in the Marina Bay waters, appears to be facing towards the city and is connected to the dock via a wooden bridge.
Pictures of the store, that will be opening for business soon, have been surfacing on Twitter. Have a look.
At night, the brightly-lit floating home for iPhones and MacBooks adds glory to the majestic Singapore skyline.
More details about the interiors of the store remain undisclosed as of now. An 18-second teaser video of the store, however, has found its way to Twitter.
In light of the pandemic, following its inauguration, the outlet will be maintaining safety measures and limit the number of people inside the store at one time. Masks and other sanitary requirements must be met by visitors to be able to check out the store.
Apple has been exploring more locations around the world to expand its retail availability.
Last year in September, the company invested $13 million to set up its first official store in India, work on which is still under process.
