It seems that lately Apple is having to give a lot of explanations, not only in what has to do with the products but with the structure of its Apple Stores. It is clear that architects can be wrong as humans, but that there are several design flaws in Apple buildings such as its most emblematic Apple Store is no longer logical.
Already one of the most notorious failures was the sound that was produced inside the Apple Store that is in the Apple Campus itself, for which, Apple had to completely redesign the store. On the other hand, the store on Fifth Avenue, the one that had the magnificent glass cube with really large pieces, which after increasing the size and quality of those crystals, They have decided to completely remodel the store and who knows what the new cube will look like.
And a few weeks ago the media leapt that due to the snowfall in Chicago, the Apple Store which owes its importance not only to its location but to its roof is also having problems of shedding snow from the roof when melting. The problem jumped to the media in the first snowfalls and is that when temperatures rose slightly again, the roof of the Apple Store, which has the exact shape of a gigantic MacBook Air, it began to throw bits of snow to the visitors who were in its perimeter.
The roof has an integrated heating system. It needed a fine tuning and was rescheduled today. Hopefully a temporary problem
This has a logic and is that the corners of the roof curve slightly like the corners of a MacBook Air do and therefore, as there are no pipes at the ends, which would ruin the design of the Apple Store, remnants of melted snow have begun to fall.
Apple has come out quickly to justify the fact and it seems that everything has been a problem of adjusting the roof heating system that, according to Apple itself, needs a tune-up. They have announced that the roof of the Apple Store what you need is a "software update", which makes us think that the roof is more complicated than it might seem a priori. They have commented that the problems will end immediately and visitors will not have to see the buckets collecting water or expose themselves to a possible snow fall.
