“The first floor appears to be the main display area while the second floor houses the Today at Apple town hall space, where the company hosts workshops and tutorials.
“It is an iconic feature of all Apple Stores worldwide.
“Visitors, however, were not allowed to enter the outlet or approach the entrance before the store officially opens this Saturday,” he said.
Globally, there are over 500 Apple stores, including three in Singapore and two in Thailand.
The upcoming outlet at The Exchange TRX will be its sixth store in South-east Asia.
