The face of Apple Stores to come

Apple’s new Scottsdale Arizona Store is a sign of things to come according to CNET. The new store has a much bigger Genius Bar than most its size.  It also has some new design elements:

When looking through the wall of windows on one side, you can see straight through to the other side of the store and out another wall of windows. If that wasn’t enough to give you a feeling of space, the Scottsdale store also has a 75-foot long skylight.

Apple plans to open or update more than 100 stores this year incorporating some of this new thinking.
