History of the Fifth Avenue Apple Store

- Apple has a reputation of building some of the coolest, most futuristic retail stores in the world. This location in Dubai features carbon fiber Solar Wings that automatically open and close to cool down the space. This store in Milan features a stunning water fountain display that welcomes visitors as they enter. And one of my favorite locations is this one in Shanghai which utilizes patented curved glass panels to achieve its unique cylindrical shape. But the most iconic Apple Store in the world is in New York City on Fifth Avenue. Sitting just a few steps from central park, it’s likely one of the highest traffic stores in the country. And you can get an understanding of just how important this store is to Apple by considering its history. Which is exactly what we’re going to cover.

Hasn’t closed since? Damn
All that glass must be pretty difficult to keep clean.
M3n747 They’re treated to repel dirt, just like the glass panels over the triborough bridge.
justmydeals cool
Apple uses a wax to repel water and dirt which helps remove dust when it rains. And those holes in the glass are are actually rain drains where the trees get their water from.
WooferJr that’s cool !

Some bird well my time to shine poops on store
7:00 $6,600,000 for 15 panels of glass
$440,000 for each piece of glass.
I hope they bought AppleCare for that...
Tyrone Shoelaces sure it maybe ridiculous. But look at the scale of each single glass. and most of all, it's not even a normal glass.
Tyrone Shoelaces underrated comment
@@iamwisdomsky maybe its Retina glass
@@iamwisdomsky wait you wanna tell me a piece of glass should cost 440k? Nope no matter how good it is glass is glass and glass breaks
@@jawspon7070 "Glass is glass" you say... surely you know the difference between soda-lime and borosilicate, tempered and untempered, laminated, etc etc... not all glass is the same and not all glass is created equal. And that's before we get into the scale and complexity of the facilities and equipment needed to manufacture panels the size used in this store. I'd be surprised if these aren't the largest single pieces of such glass in the world.
never in my life did i think i would watch a 10 minute video on the history of an apple store.

fascinating, though, right? I'm an Apple guy, live in New York City, and pass that store regularly, and yet I've never been inside.

Imagine being hired to clean the windows

that is what you are thinking about? cleaning a glass cube in a city with millions of squarefeet of glass facades?
still a better job than cleaning windows at the world trade center

Much easier than any high rise
I used to live on LI and I always had a terrible experience at apple stores. The staff at the closest one to me always seemed to ignore me and never actually want to serve me.
They also would make snid remakrs that made me feel small.
One day I was in Manhattan and I had a bit of extra cash so I decided to buy my brother a macbook pro and final cut pro because he seriously wants to make movies (and also because he has always spent his extra cash buying me things). This store CLEARLY had way more customers than the one nesr me and yet the attitude of the staff was totally different. They were always friendly. I never felt belittled. I never felt ignored. I never felt rushed. It was such a pleasent shopping experience that I began going to the 5th ave store exclusively whenever I needed anything Mac related. I didn't care if it was way out of the way. The customer experience was worth it.
melodramatic7904 probably because at the local one near you the majority of guests just go there and walk around rather than being real customers and it can actually annoy the staff to determine who’s really interest in products and who’s just walking around.
That is exactly why I always shop online.
I wish my definition of spare cash was the same as yours.
@@mattlandry8742 Except that in big ones with a lot of people there will be even more that are just looking to test the products out instead of buying them so your theory is flawed
@@Busy_Paws lmao no shit right me too
The new store in Chicago on Michigan Ave right on the river is absolutely gorgeous! Might be my favorite...
Daniel Pierce yes I agree it looks like a Mac book from the sky
The only one I’ve ever been to is the one local to me. “Boise town square Apple store”. It’s inside a mall but it is very Apple. It’s a pretty big store with the classic Apple store look.
Yes I pass by it all the time! It’s amazing!
I’ve been there once and I loved it
I got my pride band there
People:apple is not innovative
Apple:hold our stores
well... the notch stills huge.
Yassir Rossel you android user shutup.
Yassir Rossel The Notch is a beautiful touch
Pavan Kumar he wasn’t talking to you he was talking to the guy that said the was still huge
I think that the iphone is the only premium phone who still have a huge notch. Every other phone has a tiny dot as a camera or no notch not at all, like the One plus 7 Pro. (750$)
And yet there isn’t an Apple store in my country.
What country u from
Sealand
In my Country Bulgaria there aren’t OFFICIAL Apple stores
Apparently in my country they didn't open an Apple Store when the economy was decent just because a dumbass already registered the name
Estonia doesn't have em too
I live 2 buildings down from there it’s gorgeous
that is no cheap location for living :)
Luckyy
We haven't met yet buddy, I'm your neighbor😄
I’m unknown no it’s not... that’s like a $6,000 a month rent maybe even more
I’m unknown absolutely not cheap if you live anywhere south of 86 th street
I worked at the fifth store for 7 years. I remember that first renovation. glad that they made the changes where the employees can actually breathe while working
Everybody gangster until that person with the Rock shows up
Embarassing story: when I visited there I had to go to the bathroom there and I laid the fattest shit that ever came out of my body, but I never managed to find how to flush it, and when I gave up ~30 spanish tourists entered the room, well, I escaped as fast as i could.
Eliaz McNaught was the bathroom cool?
@@rodrigoguerrero1705 if I recall correctly not particularly :p
This is why I use the internet
^^^^^^
So you took a shit in a cube of glass
I’ve been to an Apple store like these before and it was the first time I saw one that had glass stairs and a fancy design leading to a bunker like room below ground I actually thought I was entering a restricted area as the stores in my country are just a classic store in a mall
I was there opening night in 2006. Being in the same room as Steve Jobs, Spike Lee, Fred Armisen and most of the cast of SNL at that time was wild!
I think I’m going there today
Good luck!

If you’re looking to replace your phone for a brand new one using your warranty, this store is the place to go.
Why
lilshrum the customers they receive are generally from different countries around the world. With all the constant traffic and impatient tourists, you can imagine that they’re always trying to be as accommodating as they can.
How much more accommodating can they be? With a warranty I can’t see how it would be different from just going to any store that replaces phones under warranty
Eric Flores it’s a matter of the amount of traffic that the store sees and resources on hand. Here’s an example. I go in and complain about my phone overheating and randomly shutting off. Technicians go to the back, run diagnostics and return to tell me they see nothing wrong. I stick to my story and show I’m visibly upset. A small Verizon store would likely tell me to come back if the problem persists. The larger Apple store would more likely give me a replacement on the spot. It’s all business. I urge you to try it for yourself.
Don't you mean "this store is where your money goes" when you can't replace a simple component because apple make it impossible to repair your own devices and have to buy a whole new phone. Or this is where your money goes when a simple connector fails in your MacBook and the "experts" in store say they have to sell you a whole new motherboard but then you go 20 minute away and a guy in the basement repairs it for free because he's a decent human being and not a thief?
looks amazing. love how they continually refined and simplified the look. it looks way better with 3 glass panels per side than the first version with all the metal clips
Imagine how much reasearch this man does to find this stuff out about apple

as a person who grew up going to FAO Schwarz during fall and winter holiday i remember when the apple store didnt exist there and it was still being built. glad i was there before their multiple fixes and renovations before it closed up and later moved locations. as far as i can remember FAO has been around a pretty long time in that particular 4 block radius. ironically ive only been in that apple store once, probably explains why ive only owned a ipod touch gen 2 and never had a smartphone till i was in my second year of highschool. im not old but im really amazed at how it really feels like things have always been there or its really new despite you remembering it so fondly or differently until its documented.
I visit this Store almost every single day, it’s like walking into 2050 😂
Johnny Wynn the back doorway was so cool
That’s literally the best part! Yet I buy all my Products out there
I have never been in an apple store.. yet I have an iphone.
@@firefly6437 That's the point these places are only for those who live lavishly and want a experience before buying.
What do you do every day?
I hope someday Louis Rossmann could have store next to the 5th avenue Apple store, so geniuses could point the customers straight to the Rossmann store when Apple cannot fix their products.
He could if he somehow became a billionaire lol
Glass: exists
Apple: *heavy breathing*
Imagine someone bringing a tiny spring loaded glass beeakwr
I’ve seen the second version. Now, I wish to go to New York City and see the third version. That looks very impressive. Thank you Greg.
Definitely want to visit it!
I’ve been binge watching your amazing videos, keep up the great work!
I was right out of college in 1979 when I snagged a job with GM (then the worlds largest company) as a financial analyst. I worked on the 21st floor of the GM building which was GM’S financial center. The space that is now an Apple store was a restaurant called the Auto Pub. It has an automotive theme with bodies of race cars attached to the ceiling. It served casual food much like a Friday’s restaurant of today.
Man if I ever go to New York I gotta go check out this store. I’m more of an “in and out” kind of shopper, especially when we’re talking expensive stuff, but I want to check out this store regardless.

When my family and I still lived in Seattle, my dad bought and iPod for me at the old Store at University Village Seattle, just shortly before we moved to Germany. When we visited the new store at University Village and was able to myself an Apple Watch and close a circle that opened 13 years ago and has since sparked my passion for Apple products.
I remember being there in 2008, I was visiting New York on business back there... I will never forget the first time I had an iPhone 3G in my hands, I will never forget that moment, in fact you could even call someone and I know because I made a call from the phone on display at the tables of the store, it´s an amazing place and also love the free wifi 😁

I work 2 blocks away from this store, I have yet to go see the new remodel. The construction took an eternity
I took a vacation to NYC and walked right by here. It was amazing looking!

Typical they have really only one or one to several in top performing countries in terms of sales
I guess Filipinos know better when it comes to mobile devices~
That store was quite massive compared to other stores, I really enjoyed my visit there
I've always wanted to go to NYC because I love urban environments. Now I want to go more because of this store and it's modern design, which I am quite fond of.
Gentrify America baby
FYI, the picture you show when you mention the Apple Store in SoHo 2:48 into the video is actually the newest store on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It is not the SoHo store.
I think every picture in this video has the same zoom in/zoom out animation.
I wish Angela was still at Apple. She was great to work under. I worked Apple Retail for 7 years. You could tell Angela was so excited about this store but wasn’t there to see it open. :(
I’ve been to that store (the old version) and it was really nice. Got a great photo looking up from the stairs, through the glass and up the building.
Throw a rock and they have to rebuild the whole thing
Get a storm and it will turn into air

As a child I got lost here and instead of looking for my parents I went straight to the apple store
It’s like I can throw a rock at it
So that's why all their products are expensive
This same thing can be said about “beats”. They aren’t expensive because they sound good. They’re expensive because they’re beats and everyone knows what that is (MARKETING)
Guardian ehhhhh... kinda? There are a lot of variables, and while those things definitely don't help, they also don't make up a large chunk. That said, it's also not because Apple is profit crazy. Dispute what many people would have you believe, iPhones cost about $400 to make, and keep in mind that other $200 - $600 has to pay for wages and events and store maintenance and all sorts of stuff, as well as, of course, generate profit.
@@loganiushere So who is telling them to make stores and events?
Rituraj Das For events, publicity / marketing, and stores, I suppose you got me there. They build stores because that's how they sell their stuff, but they could easily do that online or through other people's stores.
Guardian But are people wanting higher wages a bad thing?
Apple: we made a store out of glass.
Jerry: glass is glass and glass can break!
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this video for so long! Great Job! BTW kind of sad that you don’t meet Tim Cook but still good to see him.
I´ve been there like 5 years ago with my aunt and i was about 12 at that point and didnt had any clue of what that is except for i knew that Logo and assumed that there is a store beneath it. my aunt said that it is probably just a parking lot down there and just an Ad by apple ;) . But that Store looks super nice and I would really like to visit it at some time. unfortunatly i live in germany and it isn´t a reason to fly to New York to look at a Store ;).
