Tech website Mac Rumors gave Thai Apple followers chills by releasing what is supposedly a design plan of CentralWorld’s new Apple store that’s currently being built in the front of the mall.

The leaked plan revealed that the future Apple store will have 2 floors with a spiral staircase in the middle with walls made of clear glass. 

This outlet will be the 2nd official Apple Store in Thailand after Apple Iconsiam, which opened in 2018. Additionally.

According to the website, the store’s circular design is quite similar to the futuristic-looking Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park in California.

Besides the similar shape, those who walked past CentralWorld could see that the store’s walls are made of clear glass just like the design plan suggested.

However, we can see from the plan that the outlet’s 2 storeys are visible in plain sight, which is different from the original theatre, which has floors hidden beneath the ground like a basement.  


No opening date announced yet


This new Apple store was initially set to open in December 2019. However, the launch was later postponed without notice as the pandemic hit the globe.

Once it’s finally open, the store will overthrow Apple Orchard Road in Singapore and becomes the largest Apple Store in Southeast Asia, said MacRumors.

We hope the store will open as soon as everything returns to normal!
