We'll soon find out who is right about that. If Apple was Facebook or most modern web companies, the extra expensive of pods would have been spared to cram employees to stare at each other across tables in massive noisy rooms, usually with adequate natural light. In this case Apple clearly is putting employees and their productivity first. At least they didn't choose Bella Hadid to design it, or god knows how much more impractical the inside would have been. https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/sep/27/zaha-hadid-profile- https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/sep/27/zaha-ha...
