While Microsoft is opening their first retail shop in the Midwest, Apple’s launching another location in New York City. Located in the Upper West Side, this Apple Store takes the company’s design vision to another level. It’s a much more open space, which makes it more welcoming. The highlight is the glass ceiling which really goes against the grain and shows the company’s innovative expertise. Adjectives and descriptions beyond this won’t suffice, so hit the jump and see the images. (via Kitsune)
