Apple builds its buildings and the interior of them, according to the environment where it is located. And this maxim was not going to be less in a city like Milan. Since the announcement in May 2017, many have speculated on the design of the Apple store.
The company advanced that its store would be located under an amphitheater and the store would be accessed by stairs that descend through a fountain. Discovered the design that the store will have, it is now speculated with the opening date, because according to a local media Apple would break with one of its traditions.
According to Il Corriere Della Sera, Apple plans to open its physical store next Wednesday, July 18. This breaks with one of Apple's traditions, opening stores on Saturday. Therefore, there is speculation with an opening on Wednesday, for journalists and guests by Apple, and an opening to the public the following Saturday, July 21.
This option allows Apple to make a simulated opening a few days before and test everything, before receiving its regular users, Apple customers. It would give them time to correct last-minute problems and debug bugs.
Still, Apple planned to open the Milan store last December. The delay this time was due to problems with asbestos in walls and pipes. This has not changed the company's plans for spectacular items such as the waterfall shutdown and the wall can be used as a projection screen overnight.
Perhaps Apple's plans regarding the development of the Apple Store have to do more with the renovation of premises than with the opening of new centers. In any case, Apple has significant uncovered areas in Europe or Asia that it should serve, both for customers in newly opened areas, as well as for tourists or people who are on a business trip.
