The silver disk of the roof seems to soar high above earth because the human\u2019s eye won\u2019t notice the transparent glass walls which support it. The construction is not too high by modern standards about 20 something \u00a0feet. But as it is always the case with Apple products, there\u2019s more to it than you can see.<\/p>\n
APPLE PARK: September 2017 | From Dreams to Reality<\/em><\/p>\n The auditorium that is anticipated to house the event on September 12, is located underground. It is not \u201cjust\u201d an underground building though, it is also is a four-story building that is underground! Not exactly Khazad Dum of Moria, but very close to it. Journalists and fans will have to descend down a spiral staircase that will be winding down against the walls. If spiraling in general doesn\u2019t intimidate you, you can also take the rotating elevator. This elevator rotates both up and down and allows you to appreciate some beautiful sights behind its glass walls.<\/p>\n What is hidden behind these glass panels we mentioned above? Apple\u2019s design hates empty non-used places. These panels reportedly hide the demonstration area, where you can see and touch Apple products. It will open when the presentation of the iPhone 8 and other surprising products will be finished.<\/p>\n But the Theatre is not a place for fun and events only. It\u2019s now the home for Apple engineering and researching projects. Historically, different teams \u00a0and team members were always separated \u00a0from one another in their work environment, but now things are a lot different.<\/p>\n Apple\u2019s inner policy is now all about collaborating and socializing.<\/p>\n There are pods to work in and \u00a0there are pods to socialize in. There are pods for team work projects and pods just for discussions. The pods structure was originally Steve Job\u2019s idea. He dreamed of making the process more open and close to nature. There aren\u2019t any exclusions \u2013 even for CEOs. Pods are distributed democratically and there are no suites even for executive members!<\/p>\n Apple Park (September 6, 2017)<\/p><\/div>\n The friendly and open atmosphere is backed up by a single canteen with an underground kitchen. Food is transported to the caf\u00e9 level via elevators.<\/p>\n Even though they did have secrecy in mind when choosing the circular shape of the building, It\u2019s still unclear how they are going to support this secrecy level. Typically, circular constructions are more secure. Each department has its own entrance ( a total of 9 entrances) and that way employees won\u2019t mix up and chitchat with each other.<\/p>\n The Steve Job\u2019s Theatre<\/em> as a whole ended up costing about $5 billion, or approximately like the cost of 8 million iPhones! Each seat in the auditorium costs $14,000! Those journalists better make sure to wear their best clothing to this event next week. All jokes aside, new headquarters mean a fresh start as the handhelds industry is facing great changes. Voice controls and AR are going to replace touch screens. Biometrical ID is elbowing the good old password protection. Tablets and smartphones are becoming more and more powerful and are being used as laptops. While simultaneously, laptops are deteriorating in calculation power.<\/p>\n The next decade will be \u00a0spent learning all about neural networks and designing all-in-one handhelds. Right now all this probably seems more foreign to us than the above ground building of The Steve Job\u2019s Theatre<\/em> even, but that will soon change. .<\/p>\n![\"Apple](\"https:\/\/igotoffer.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/apple-park.jpg\")
