Fully indulging in their penchant for grand, eye-catching designs, this unique and outlandish floating Apple store generated quite the hype amongst Singaporeans.

On Thursday (10 Sep), the MBS Apple Store officially opened its doors to the public.
That is, only for those who were quick enough to snag an appointment time slot.
This measure was in place to limit the number of visitors in line with Covid-19 health and safety precautions.
According to TODAY, the public was also told to limit their visits to 15 minutes.
Even though visitors had specific time slots, a long queue had already formed outside the store around noon.
If you did not manage to book a time slot, not to worry, from tomorrow (11 Sep) onwards, the MBS Apple store will be allowing walk-in visitors.
The 3-storey Apple store saw visitors streaming in since its glass doors slid open at 10am.
The first visitor to walk through the Apple Store doors arrived at 6am, and waited for 4 hours till the store’s opening, reported TODAY.

This tech giant must really be the apple of his eye.
The new floating Apple store at MBS is definitely a sight to behold.
For Apple fanatics raring to visit the store, you can simply walk in without an appointment from Friday (11 Sep).
Not to worry, the store will be around for a long time, so there will be plenty of opportunities to visit in the weeks to come.
