The 75-meter-long red paper-cut curtain, created by Taiwanese paper-cut artist Yang Shiyi with trees as the visual subject, was officially unveiled a few days ago, and the media was allowed to enter and film it.Taipei 101 Apple Store, finally officially opened today (7/1), not only attracting a large crowd, but also making many Apple fans start queuing up for the "pilgrimage" a few days ago.
In addition to attracting a large number of people and Apple fans queuing to enter, Apple's first directly-operated store in Taiwan, Taipei 101 Apple Store, also attracted Apple fans from as far away as the United States and India, including loyal fans who have participated in the opening of 200 Apple Stores around the world.
After nearly an hour of applause and cheers, Apple officially opened its Taipei 1 store, mirroring its previous Apple Store openings in the United States. The first wave of attendees were given red paper-cut commemorative T-shirts commemorating the Taipei 101 Apple Store opening. The Taipei 101 store's summer camp program also officially launched alongside the opening. The program will continue with activities such as iMovie tutorials for children aged 101-8, coding lessons with Tynker, and story creation with Sphero robots.
Judging from the on-site supply, Apple's own product stock is generally sufficient, so many people on site bought AirPods wireless headphones that were out of stock through authorized sales channels and online websites. At the same time, many people also made appointments for repair and technical consultation services at the Genius Bar.
Many of the 130 Apple employees on site were provided support from other regions, just as when clothing brands such as H&M entered the Taiwanese market, they also dispatched staff from Hong Kong to assist with the chaotic opening day.
In addition to having many staff members who are fluent in Chinese, English, Cantonese, and even Taiwanese to provide services, the on-site staff not only use blue Apple T-shirts as identification, but it can be seen that Apple attaches great importance to the self-expression of employees' characteristics. There are even transgender staff members on site to provide services, which shows Apple's internal respect for diverse cultures and gender orientations.
台北101 Apple Store位置將位於台北101購物中心一樓靠近信義路化妝品區塊，同時營業時間將從星期一至星期四，以及星期日的上午11點至晚間9點30分，星期五與星期六營業時間則為上午11點至晚間10點。
As previously revealed, both Deyi Digital and Studio A have announced adjustments to their repair fees. Earlier, Studio A confirmed that starting today, standard members will receive Apple Store-standard repair prices and some expedited repair services at Studio A repair centers across Taiwan. Diamond or Platinum members will receive a free replacement device and a three-hour expedited iPhone repair service. Deyi Digital has yet to confirm this, but emphasized that it will announce a revised repair fee later, which is expected to be similar to or similar to Apple Store prices.
