Located on Nanjing West Road in the Jing'an District (named after its famous ancient Jing'an Temple), Apple Jing'an will become the 57th Apple store in mainland China and Apple says it's the company's second-largest flagship store after the Fifth Avenue location in New York City.
Embracing a floral theme, the storefront is currently draped in a veil of blooming flowers. To celebrate the opening, Apple has also made a special wallpaper for Apple devices available to download on its China website.
Apple has not yet revealed when the store will begin to welcome customers, but local reports suggest it will open its doors later this month.
Apple is currently grappling with a significant slump in demand for iPhone sales in the country, with a recent report by CounterPoint Research suggesting iPhone sales dropped by 24 percent in the first six weeks of 2024 alone.

When the CCP bans iPhones from being used as work phones, and users from bringing personal iPhones in to the gov workplace, there is a significant incentive not to have an iPhone at all.
