The store still smells of BO. There's my review.

Really? I didn't get that from my few visits and I could definitely smell it in the old store which was way too small for the amount of people in it at all times. Having had a quick glance at the overhead vents during construction, it looked like the new store has direct HVAC access to the outside.

Downtown still really needs another Apple Store, the sooner the better. But having this one much larger one helps until Yonge and Bloor opens.

I think Yonge & Bloor, Yonge & Eglinton, The Well and Union Station would all be sensible locations.

 

[MetroMan]

Yeah, there's strong speculation that there'll be one at The Well. It's going to be a high end mall with all the luxury brands. Right up Apple's alley. It's about as far west from the Eaton Centre as The One is north of it. Three downtown Apple Stores would be about just right to serving Toronto's downtown population.

I keep hoping for an iconic store on the waterfront but I don't think it's in the cards. Unlike say, Apple Michigan Avenue's riverside store, the waterfront is still very sparsely populated and only really busy in the warmer months. But god damn that store makes me jealous of Chicago every time I go ?

Don't get your hopes up for something at The Well. There's no plans for a store there.

Specious speculation and rumourmongering from Metroman about Apple Stores?! How can that be?!

Downtown Toronto can have three large Apple Stores, yet they won't lead to consistent walk-in Genius Bar appointments in any Toronto location.

A fourth downtown Toronto location could lead to consistent walk-in Genius Bar appointments in any Toronto location.

New Fairview location opens on Saturday morning

The WWDC will be entirely online this year.

Too much to dream for on our waterfront, right? The new "floating" store at Marina Bay Sands.

That looks like that know-it-all computer in the most recent season of Westworld.

That would be excellent for an Apple Store in Ontario Place.

I was just in Singapore in late February (before Covid) and didn't notice that structure there. They must have built it in the last few months.

It's new - in any case I find the sphere very "un-Apple" in details.
