Almost twenty years ago Apple Stores looked like this

I've never been in one. What do they look like now?

Pretty much the same, but with less on display and more hidden cabinets to hide stock etc.

I recall going to get a work-provided phone swapped out as the battery was swelling and the dude took it into the back, came back empty-handed (I was concerned..) and then went to some random thing that seemed like a table and was like surprise secret drawer full of iPhones!

I had a similar experience: after paying for something the Apple guy opened a secret drawer in the table and removed a bag and receipt from a hidden storage area.

The same, but the laptops are much thinner

The same but much bigger, much brighter, and usually with security at the door

…the same. They’re just more crowded, mostly. It’s an odd post.

That makes sense. I was like, this looks like every other cell phone store I've seen.

They have way more printers on display now. It’s mostly printers, really.
