Photos of Apple Store Beijing

The French-language website MacPlus has posted construction photos of Apple;s forthcoming retail store in Beijing, China.

The photos include shots of a glass staircase, windows and wall features, the current façade of the building (adorned with the Nike swoosh for now), and more.

  1. the presence of Apple stores in China is a good thing because it will increase the likelihood of leaks about a 1000%

    Nothing like setting up business in an essentially lawless country. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />

  2. Richie sez: “如此当它未结?”

    I say: 这看起来像排泄物!

    Am I the only one who notices in the pictures a sense of claustrophobia, gloom and shoddy workmanship? It also looks a bit smoggy outside. I guess they haven’t turned off the smokestacks for the Olympics yet. >>cough cough<<

    Question: Is Apple going to provide REAL or China Brand® CENSORED Internet access in the store? To have Apple fold to the diabolical totalitarianism of China would make me sad.

    “the presence of Apple stores in China is a good thing because it will increase the likelihood of leaks about a 1000%…. Nothing like setting up business in an essentially lawless country.”

    Unless the shop is run by marketing morons, I can’t see Apple falling for trusting China to not infiltrate the store with illicit surveillance and spies. Instead I expect the China store won’t know any secrets until they’ve already been announced publicly in the USA.

    Also: I take offense at China being called an ‘essentially lawless country.” That is offensive in that it does not give the Chinese enough credit. What we call ‘lawless’ is what the Chinese call ‘strategy’. In China the lawless practice of hacking and cracking of computers is not allowed! Instead China pays hackers and crackers to do their dirty work for the people’s cause. Thus glorious China organized the Red Hacker Alliance who are responsible for the most successful organized cracking of international government computer networks in human history. Well, I suppose you have to give some of the credit for their success to Microsoft.

  4. Screw Beijing, how about POUGHKEEPSIE,N.Y.???? PLEASE?

    We have to travel 1.5 to 2 hours to get to a Mac store. I’m not doing it. Come on Apple! TONS of Mac users in the colleges here. This is a college saturated area! I have 3 colleges within a 4 mile radius of me. An Apple store would KILL here!

  5. “You’d better get your keyboard checked out there, bud, it’s making all kinds of incoherent squiggly lines.”

    Just seeing how many of you actually own a Mac and can use the computer for translation. Guess not many can…. except for derekcurrie whom I agree with. but it’s early photos!
