Apple Store, Sydney - Smashed Door - cracked from top to bottom
Hello All,
I searched the forums, and hadn't seen any reference to it... so I am sorry if I am duping someone else...
on 26 June, the front doors of the Apple Store smashed together in the wind, cracking from top to bottom.
I though it was newsworthy - seeing as everyone made such a big deal about the millions of dollars they spend on it...
I snapped some photos before and after they wrapped the door in white plastic...

It was mentioned in threads, but none with pictures like yours.

hahah, I knew it was cracked but didn't know if it was true or not. I guess it was a matter of time before something happened to the glass!

Let's hope they get some kind of hail-proof screening put above the glass at the top.

I think you're confused with the iPhone. The Apple Store is so last month |

Finally somebody posts a picture! I've been waiting to see how it looks. Probably shoulda posted in the massive AppleStore thread but at least there's a pic!

After 90 pages... they closed it...
I think there should be an Apple retail section of the forum though... |

Ouch. I wonder if they took it upstairs to the Genius Bar to get it fixed?
