Most Apple events kick off with some bluster, and Steve’s holding suit with some bragging about Apple’s new retail stores located in further-off climes.
First off, their new Shanghai Store, which took 18 months to restore with a 40-foot high glass cylinder made in single pieces of glass. “That’s a landmark in glass engineering,” says Apple.
Next, the new London Covent Garden Store, which was Apple’s 300th. And soon: Spain.
All in all, Apple Stores are drawing in over 1 Million Visitors a day. The Apple Store is a phenomenon with a bigger populace than some nations.
