Update: Here it is! (Thanks Dapper!)
Apple has just started closing down its 5th Avenue Store which is usually open 24/7/365 where patrons are filing out of the GM building entrance. It is preparing for a grand re-opening at 10am tomorrow where a newly-designed $6 million cube will be unveiled. The number of panes in the cube will drop from 90 to just 15 (3 per side).
We’re simplifying the Fifth Avenue cube. By using larger, seamless pieces of glass, we’re using just 15 panes instead of 90.
Apple will spend the next 12 hours getting the store ready according to the 5th Avenue Store web page.
Attention:We’ll be closed starting at 10:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 3 and will reopen at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, November 4.
Apple began pulling the wraps off of the 5th Avenue Store Cube upgrade project this evening. The above pictures shows the new seamless glass panels that will eventually look like this artist’s rendition, below:
Apple is also currently revamping its Soho store and putting the finishing touches on its new Grand Central store just a few blocks away.
