I am very happy to say that the wonderful city of Melbourne, Australia has been my hometown for over three decades now, but one odd thing with our fair city is the marked lack of an Apple Store in the middle of the CBD. Many world-class cities have one in a high profile new building, or a beautifully renovated old building. For over two decades now there have been rumours of Apple opening one in Melbourne, but the closest we got was the proposed Fed Square site, which would have involve Apple knocking down and replacing an existing building. Thankfully due to public outcry, it didn’t go ahead.

To see what the store that never was would have looked like, I noticed recently someone has created a beautiful series of renders.

The same person also created the nifty Bandbriete app, which lets you catalogue all of your Apple Watch bands, assuming you have enough of a collection to warrant needing to keep track of them, as I do!
