A TUAW tipster who just happened to be passing the 5th Avenue Apple Store in the wee hours of the morning managed to capture this short video of workmen unloading the Cube’s new simplified, seamless glass panes. According to Mac Rumors, these new, massive panes are about thirty two feet high by ten feet wide. Let’s hope none of those workmen have butterfingers.

Stunning. Every piece must cost a pretty penny. I feel for the guy responsible for making sure these get installed without damages.
I wonder if the work being done on the store will be done for the launch of the iPhone 5? I think I want to take a trip down to NYC for the unveiling of the new store.Â
