1- Istanbul's Apple Store
What make those retail stores unique, is the design which is similar to some apple's product.The company opened this store in the few past years in Istanbul, it's designed by the popular British designer Norman Foster. And if you focus in this store you will notice that it's like the Apple TV and a little bit the Macbook.
2- Sydney's Apple Store
In 2008 apple build its first store in the southern hemisphere and it was at Sydney, Australia. As you can see in the photos this store has a glass facade and it's a three-floor store. And did you know that apple choose to build this store in Sydney's most crowded streets.
3- Paris's Apple Store
Paris's apple store is one of my favorite stores, the company opened this store in 2010 in a building that contained previously a bank which mean that this store will not be a problem for visitors to find especially it's located in front of the Opera in Paris.
Also what make this store one of the most beautiful apple stores is that the company choose to keep its old and original architectural details such as the Marble columns and the mosaic floors.
4- Sanlitun's Apple Store
If you're planning to visit China, you must plan also to visit Sanlitun's apple store which is one of the biggest and the most beautiful stainless steel stores.
5- Berlin's Apple Store
This one will make you remember Paris's apple store, but the difference is Berlin's store is not located in front of the Opera, No, this store is built inside the Opera.
Yes inside the opera (which has been built in 1913) apple decided to build its store, that's why this one is considered as an artistic masterpiece, especially because it is located in an historic building.
6- Grand Central Apple Store
If you think that this is the best apple store in the world share this post. To make it the most beautiful, apple pay 2.5 Million dollars to renovate this store which is located in the most important stations in New York city which is "Grand Central".
7- Covent Garden Apple Store
In 2010 in London apple opened one of the biggest apple stores in the world with 3 floors and more than 300 worker which is located at Covent Garden
8- Shanghai Apple Store
I call this one "The Mac Pro Store" because it's designed like a mac pro, also it's considered as one of the most beautiful and elegant apple stores in the world and I agree with this. Apple built this store in Pudong, Shanghai city, his cylindrical design which is very similar to the new Mac Pro is a patent for apple.
9- Hong Kong Apple Store
As you see in the photos this store is in the air, why? I will answer you. Apple opened this store in Hong Kong in 2011 In the center of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and it's located between two big Skyscrapers, this store has an elegant and beautiful glass design.
10- Amsterdam's Apple Store
I don't know why the most of European apple stores are built in historical buildings. Amsterdam's store open its doors for the first time in 2012 in Hirsch Building
11- New York Apple Store
I don't think that you never see this amazing store, it's considered as one of the best and most popular apple stores and the 5th most photographed landmarks in New York City.
12- Louvre Apple Store
The most unique thing in this store is the glass, yes the most of this store is made from glass. I think that apple took this decision because its store is located near the Louvre Pyramid in Paris. This store opened its doors for the first time in June 2008.
13- Ginza District Apple Store (In Tokyo)
This one has a lot and lot of features and positive points that make it the best, it's also one of the tallest apple stores in the world with 4 stories tall. Apple open this store in November 2003 inside an old building (built in 1965) and it's considered as the first Apple store outside the U.S.
Maybe you ask if it's opened since 2003 what happen to this store in the Earthquake? it's an amazing story, In March 2011 earthquake this store didn't close its doors, NO, it stayed open and also helped peoples to call their friends, families (to say goodbye, help me, I love you... or anything anyone want to say for the last time) and also allow peoples during this earthquake to use the WiFi for Free to see the news, use social media websites, write the last tweet on twitter or the last thing on Facebook, or check their emails.
14- Osaka Apple Store
This one is located in Osaka, Japan. Apple opened this store in 2004 and as you can notice its style is similar to Ginza Store.
15- Miami Apple Store
Finally a different Design!!. Miami Apple Store or known as Miami Lincoln Road Store is one of the small number of apple stores that don't have the classic white logo, this one has a blue apple logo and as you can notice the company want to make this store similar to the Art Deco Architectural Style in Miami. So if you're planning to visit Miami this summer, Miami's apple store must be in your plannings list.

This one which is located in Boston is considered as the largest apple store in the U.S (not the tallest). So with 3 stories in Tall It will very hard to visit Boston and not notice this beautiful store which has a clear Front Glass

With its beautiful glass design and because it's the first apple store that open its doors in Germany, Munich Store got more than 4000 visitors on its first day

Nothing particular in the design of this store except the beautiful and the amazing view of nature (trees, garden..) in front of the store.
It's located in the middle of Waikiki in Hawaii, and opposite to the other stores this is the only one that is located in front of the street in Hawaii.
