Apple's new Upper East Side Store in NY features a bank vault for Apple Watch try ons

There's been a lot of Apple Store news coming out of New York. The iconic 24/7 365 glass cube on 5th Avenue will be reportedly shut down for some renovations and upgrades while moving into the soon to be vacated F.A.O. Schwartz toy store and just over the weekend a new Upper East Side Store opened up

Located at 940 Madison Avenue on the corner of 74th St, a block from Central Park, the stately new store is a restored 100 year old building that used to be a bank. Apple decided to keep various identifying features and has the original bank vault converted into a fitting room for Apple Watch Edition tryons. Apple SVP for Retail Angela Ahrendts, who lived in the area for 25 years, was on hand to open up the latest store (see tweet above). This is the third feature store in NYC, aside from the 5th Avenue Store, the company also has an impressive store at Grand Central Station.

 Apple has 454 retail stores in 16 countries and an online store available in 39 countries.
