“Matthew Roberts is back with his latest 4K drone footage of Apple Park – including a closer look at the atrium of the Steve Jobs Theater,” Ben Lovejoy reports for 9to5Mac.
“There are still some finishing touches being applied to the roof [of Apple Park], but the solar panels appear complete. Once these are all operational, they will generate 17 megawatts of power during peak daylight,” Lovejoy reports. “This will provide around 75% of the campus power needs, the remainder being generated by on-site fuel cells.”
Lovejoy reports, “The Steve Jobs Theater has the auditorium area we can see in the video, whose carbon fiber roof is entirely supported by glass panels. Stairs lead down to the stage area, where there is seating for 1,000 people. There will also be parking for 350 vehicles.”

I gotta admit, I love these monthly videos. Many thanks for all those who bring them to us.
🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
I agree with C.C., many thanks.
Nice. I wonder if everything is going according to schedule. People are always remarking about how any massive, new corporate headquarters usually becomes a headstone for a company’s burial plot. I’m hoping Apple will prove them wrong. At a cost of $5B that would become quite a costly headstone. I hope this headquarters will sustain Apple for the next 25 years and beyond.
You know that work is completion the roof when the orange safety rails are removed–and they are. Beautiful.
Would love a video walk through of the inside.
or better yet, being an Apple “guest” employee for a day!
Even better yet, a hologram tour given by the late great Steve Jobs himself, proudly walking throughout his magnificent creation✨
10 golden tickets bestowed onto 10 randomly lucky ppl whom choose the right iPhone Pro to purchase 🙂
I was thinking the same.. how fun it has been watching and being a part of this journey. An amazing campus and great video. Thank You.
Solar panels!
I believe these comments have set an MDN record—no hateful speeches, no vile and vicious threats lobbed at other commenters, no foul and crude language (often misspelled). A thought: is it the subject matter? Does the structure elicit wonder and awe? Is this the reaction the designers anticipated? If so, $5 Bn is the bargain of the millennium!
Mississippi still doesn’t have cool firms HQ’red. Gee wonder why.
