Apple store resembles Ka'ba

[Abu_Zahid]

IT company Apple have built a store which seems to be a deliberate attempt to resemble the Ka'ba. It is also for some strange reason open 24/7, which adds to the reason why many are viewing this is a deliberate attempt to attack Islam and Muslims, as it is trying to mimic the fact that the Masjid Al-Haram is also open 24/7.

There's a lot of mixed reports about this store, however, the following link seemed to be more accurate than other reports I came across.

Has anyone else heard about this or have any more info?

Assalaamu alaikum, this is pretty old.

It was just a way to keep it all covered, they wanted it to be a secret until they finall unveiled it.
