I found from some reliable sources that Apple might be launching something major for its 10th retail anniversary for Thursday the 19th. This is what I have read:
They will be having an overnight shift that will be around 10-15 employees at each Apple Store that will work from late night Saturday into mid Sunday. During the said shift the employees will have lock their cell phones in the main office and will also sign a nondisclosure agreement with Apple. Apple will be putting up black curtains at all the stores so that people cannot see inside of the stores. The overnight shift will have a many roles, visual staff, a manager a couple of Genius members, a business team member, one back of the house employee and a few Apple specialists. It has been said that they have received hardware and there is more to come between Friday and Saturday. Employees also needed to download gigabytes of data from Apple which was labeled training and is password protected and will not be accessible to managers until Saturday afternoon.
Apple must be planning something big but how could something this major go under the radar and not really know what they could be presenting to the world. I guess we will find out shortly.
