  • Four redesigned floors with open, airy architecture.
  • A dedicated Apple Pickup station for online orders.
  • An updated Genius Bar with seating at multiple heights for better accessibility.
  • Today at Apple sessions to explore creativity with Apple products.
  • A special demo area for Apple Vision Pro.
