New SVP of Retail and former Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts said Apple's retail presence in China is going to expand from 15 to 40 stores within two years.
And one of the new stores is opening this Sunday in Chongqing, a major metropolis in Southwest China and one of the five national central cities in the 1.33 billion people country.
Scheduled to open at 10am local time on Sunday, January 31, the store is officially called Jiefangbei. It's even more gorgeous than the Pudong store in Shanghai and marks Apple's second flagship outlet that uses its patented cylindrical glass entrance design.
Apple posted a video posted to its Chinese retail website ahead of grand opening. In it, the firm details a collaboration between China-based artist Yangyang Pan and US-based photographer and engineer Navid Baraty who joined forces to create a breathtaking mural art for the store.
A report published Monday in The Financial Times newspaper suggests a tantalizing prospect for iPhone sales as Apple is expected to announce selling more handsets in China than in the United States when it reports fiscal 2015 first quarter earnings after the markets close tomorrow.
Headlined ‘China buying more iPhones than US,’ reporter Tim Bradshaw's article cites reputable analysts who estimate that the Cupertino firm has “reached the turning point in iPhone sales” following the iPhone 6's release in China and a landmark deal with China Mobile, the country’s largest network operator.
Renowned 3D designer Martin Hajek recently published on his personal blog a batch of nice renderings representing his artistic take on Apple's rumored creative stylus accessory.

The Iconfactory on Monday pushed an update to its freemium Twitter client for the iPhone and iPad.
Twitterrific 5, now bumped to version 5.9, brings out multi-image upload support, multi-image viewing support, as well as the ability to watch Twitter animated GIFs and videos from Vine, Instagram, Moby and other services in the timeline.
Moreover, there's support for rich media previews for a wide variety of additional links.
Finally, the latest edition of the app includes half a dozen improvements while squashing a few annoying bugs.
Apple's forthcoming S-refresh of the iPhone — let's call it an ‘iPhone 6s’ — is likely going to run an in-house designed ‘A9’ mobile processor and as much as 75 percent of the chips will be manufactured by Samsung, Reuters reported Monday citing a story in the South Korean newspaper Maeil Business.
Samsung is going to make the chips from its factory in Austin, Texas though it's unclear how much the contract is worth (likely billions) and which supplier has picked up the remaining 25 percent of orders.
Apple has updated its iTunes Store app on iOS and desktop in the US with a new "Free on iTunes" section found on the homepage to help users find content without having to spend money.
As the name implies, the "Free on iTunes" tab shows music and full length TV show episodes that can be downloaded free of charge.
Pretty accurate KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has issued a brand new note to clients. In it, he confirmed an earlier report calling for a March release date of the Apple Watch (remember, Apple's retail boss mentioned a vague Spring release date).
In the note, a copy of which was obtained last evening by MacRumors, Kuo also claims that a rumored MacBook Air refresh with a twelve-inch Retina display and a radically redesigned chassis will go on sale during the first quarter of this year.
Bad news, Tweetbot fans. Developer Paul Haddad woke up this morning to the realization that his popular Twitter client for the Mac has been pulled from the Mac App Store.
As if the app's disappearance wasn't enough, existing copies are experiencing authentication issues, allegedly over reaching Twitter’s strict limits on how many users are permitted to login to a particular application, as first discovered by 9to5Mac.
“We are aware of Tweetbot for Mac authentication issues,” reads the official tweet from developer Tapbots. “We have contacted Twitter and are waiting for a response. Thanks for your patience.”
Yesterday, T-Mobile in a typical Un-carrier move dropped credit checks to permit its loyal users, especially prepaid customers, those with a weak credit and ones on a monthly voice plan, to enjoy the best deals and zero-down offers.
It didn't take rival Sprint long to respond.
Targeting T-Mobile customers, Sprint said today that it'll be guaranteeing switchers a minimum trade-in credit of $200 for their current T-Mobile smartphone in good condition, and up to $350 per line to cover switching costs.
As soon as Chinese website iFanr posted a bunch of photos last night showing what appears to be a display assembly for Apple's rumored twelve-inch Retina MacBook Air, one particular design feature immediately stood out: a polished logo on the lid.
And if the latest leak published by French blog NowhereElse.fr is anything to go by, it seems that Apple's radically redesigned notebook will in fact lose its traditional backlit translucent logo on the lid in favor of a metallic one that doesn't glow.
