I'm still watching it now. WOAH it's a big line..! right up to the end of the road with the crossing, and across the road - the line starts again..!

I wish I was there (but near the front ;)), actually I wish they'd have a big Apple Store like that in the UK - somewhere near, say - Swansea/Cardiff...then I'd be happy.

I can only imagine how small the line would be if it were a new MS store (no seriously, not 'as' many people would queue up).

Instead of watching it via stream, I downloaded the .mov file and fast forwarded it and WOAH..!!!!!!!! that's a long one.

From the store, they line up down the road - nice little junction/crossing, so, a new line starts - and I counted like 10 pavements full and 2 minutes through the video it was announced the 1000th person. Another 10 minutes in the video to go, so we're talking a few thousand.

They didn't just queue down the long road - there was a junction on the other side of the street so they're queuing all around the blocks. I am truly impressed with the sheer length of this queue.

I love when people feel the need to jump in threads and just spout out negative comments.

What's the big deal? There probably isn't any to you, but for the person who posted it, he thought it was cool. Give him a break.

If you don't have something positive to say, why even post? What is the motivation to spend the time typing something totally negative and off topic?

And from mods too, shame :no:

what exactly did keldyn and I say that was negative?

2 of my posts were asking why so many people were lined up outside of the store. I still don't even know. Was it an event?

the other was Keldyn dropping a joke, and the last was was me acknowledging a joke.

It was the grand opening of the first Apple retail store outside of the states, and its gotta be Apple's largest store so far. There has been line up's for every store so far, but obviously none as big as this.

Pictures of the actual store can be found here:

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.
