The trio of locations likely feature Apple’s next-generation store design inspired by chief design officer Jony Ive. The new layouts generally include a combination of large glass doors, light boxes extending the length of the ceiling, indoor trees, touch-sensitive sequoia wood tables, wide shelves along the walls for products and accessories, and large digital screens for product marketing.
