The 83-year-old woman who is suing Apple for $1 million because she broke her nose when she walked into the glass door at the Apple Store in Manhasset is speaking out about her lawsuit. more ›

Why does Apple insist on making their glass-facade stores so glassy? That's what one Long Island grandmother wants to know, after walking into a glass door at the Manhasset Apple Store. Evelyn Paswall, 83, is suing Apple for $1 million and her lawyer says, "Apple wants to be cool and modern and have the type of architecture that would appeal to the tech crowd. But on the other hand, they have to appreciate the danger that this high-tech modern architecture poses to some people." more ›

Apple launched its newest product, the iPad3, today and the Apple store on Fifth Avenue was packed to the brim with Apple consumers hungry to get their hands on the new and improved tablet. Some people braved the cold and rain early this morning only to end up in the back of what was an already packed line. more ›

The new iPad—the third generation—is officially on sale today and, like clockwork, there are lines outside stores. This is the first product release for the new Apple Store at Grand Central, and it seems like the terminal's cavernous halls are perfect for waiting during this miserable day, some of the lines are inside long hallways. more ›

While Marty Markowitz has been lobbying for an Apple store in Brooklyn for years, that borough may be one of the last to get one. Currently Manhattan has five Apple stores (the latest in Grand Central), Staten Island has one, and it turns out Queens may be next on the list. Forest Hills, to be exact. more ›

Wall Street Occupiers weren't the only ones staying up last night—Apple fans across the city were up in the rain, too, excitedly counting down the minutes until the official release of the new iPhone 4S at 8 a.m. this morning. more ›

Proving the maxim that "rumors are always true," the MTA has announced that Grand Central Station will indeed get a 23,000-square-foot Apple store, so weary travelers can gum up the display iPads with their greasy Shake Shack fingers and yell at nerds who have the power to void their service warranties. According to the Post, the store will be Apple's largest in the world, and takes the place of the Métrazur in the terminal's north and northeast balconies. Fans of the restaurant should take heart that the Chirping Chicken is going nowhere. more ›

Over the course of three days in June, artist Kyle McDonald captured the faces of Apple patrons in two of the company's Manhattan stores. He did this by installing a program on computers in the stores, which automatically took an image every minute. He explained, “I thought maybe we could see ourselves doing this we would think more about our computers and how we’re using them." Well, now he won't have to think about it, because Mashable is reporting that the U.S. Secret Service has confiscated McDonald's own personal computers! more ›

Back in February, there were rumors then rumors squashing rumors that Apple would build a store on the Grand Central Terminal balcony. Now, the rumors are back, thanks to a Wall Street Journal report. more ›

Last year, NY State opened an investigation into whether Asian would-be customers—many of them Chinese—were being denied iPads at Apple stores because Apple employees were suspected the iPads would be resold overseas. Now, with the frenzy of the iPad 2's debut, the Post has found a "cutthroat Asian group" which "[scored] nearly every iPad 2 it can get its hands since the hot gizmo went on sale last week, to re-peddle at exorbitant prices here and in China." more ›

Marty Markowitz, and most of Brooklyn, has been hoping Apple would soon notice the borough's enticing calls, and set up shop in in one of its many tech-friendly neighborhoods. There have been rumors of the company moving to Williamsburg in the past, but with no follow through Marty's been reduced to begging (it is rather embarrassing that Staten Island got one first). Now the Observer reports that the white whining may have worked, a source tells them the company has set their sights on a location near the proposed Atlantic Yards arena in Brooklyn. more ›

'Tis the season: Early yesterday morning, an Apple Store in Woodcliff Lake, NJ was broken into—according NorthJersey.com, "Four people smashed" into the store, "grabbing several iPods, MacBooks and iPhones... Surveillance video shows them spending about 30 seconds going into the store and running off with the Apple products." The alarm was tripped, but the thieves left by the time cops arrived; a NorthJersey.com commenter predicted, "I bet you can buy the stolen items in the Bronx later today." The store was previously burglarized in 2008, when a crew used sledgehammers, saws and crowbars to gain access from a vacant neighboring store. more ›

Remember the claims of racial profiling and discrimination against Chinese people at the SoHo Apple Store, as well as the one in the Meatpacking District? Now the NY Times confirms what was suspected: Many Chinese immigrants are buying Apple products to be resold in China, where they aren't available (yet). more ›

Last we checked, Brooklyn Borough president Marty Markowitz was begging Steve Jobs to open an Apple store in Brooklyn. Now the Daily News reports that Markowitz, and others lobbying for the company to open up shop in the borough, have their eyes set on the Municipal Building on Joralemon Street across from Borough Hall. How convenient to Mr. Markowitz's office. more ›

It's Day 2 of iPhone 4's availability and folks are still clamoring for it. Maybe they were scared off by yesterday's lines. Maybe they thought today would be better. But Hollywood Elsewhere's Jeffrey Wells wrote this morning, "I've been waiting in line to buy the iPhone 4.0 since 6:55 am this morning. Currently at 14th and Washington, or about 200 yards from the Apple store at 14th and Ninth Avenue. 200-plus people ahead of me. It's 9:23 am right now and the line is nudging along..." more ›

Here's more sugar for you iPhone/Apple skeptics' iPhone 4 haterade: The lines have been slow on this hot, sticky day. Gizmodo's Adam Frucci writes:

I got to the line at the NYC Soho Apple Store at about 6:40 this morning, 20 minutes before they opened the doors. I knew I'd be far back, but I figured it would move relatively quickly. I was wrong! more ›
