- After submitting a proposal for relocation to city planners, Apple must make changes to its current proposal for a controversial new flagship retail space located in San Francisco.
- According to reports from slashgear.com, changes to the design include removal of a proposed “giant glass wall” in favor of other structural materials which could also feature visual elements.
- The San Francisco Planning Department is also encouraging Apple to redesign the proposal to uproot a nearby fountain created by local sculptors and artists – but instead include the piece in the overall premises.
