by

After being announced earlier this year, Apple Downtown Detroit now has a grand opening date, and it will be quite the eventful day.

The all-new store will be opening its doors to the public on Friday, September 19, which is also iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone Air launch day. The grand opening will take place at 5 p.m. local time that day, according to Apple's website.

"Hello, 313," says Apple.

"Our brand-new store in downtown Detroit is opening soon," adds Apple. "In the heart of a city pulsing with spirit and innovation, we're proud to build a space where creativity thrives and business takes shape. We can't wait to see what drives you."

To celebrate the occasion, Apple has shared a special wallpaper for the iPhone and Mac, containing a custom Apple logo with a chrome design and a "D" for Detroit. It is available to download on the store's page. Apple has also shared a Detroit-themed collection of TV shows, music, and more available across its apps.

Ahead of the grand opening, Apple Downtown Detroit's facade has been covered in the same "D" artwork shown in the wallpaper. Apple says this artwork serves as a tribute to the city's rich heritage of innovation and unwavering pride.

Apple Downtown Detroit is located at 1430 Woodward Avenue, near Grand River Avenue, and it will offer the usual amenities, including a Genius Bar, and free Today at Apple sessions that are intended to foster learning and creativity. The store's design remains to be seen, but it will likely also include an Apple Pickup station for online orders.

"Hello, 313," says Apple.

"Our brand-new store in downtown Detroit is opening soon,"
Just a fun fact: the phone number system in the US was created in the 1940s and at the time, Detroit was the 5th largest city in US and so was therefore assigned (313) for the area code

New York has always been the largest city throughout history and was assigned the easiest to dial, 212

I’m from Boston where we have (617) and my relatives in Cleveland have (216)

There are also 11 states with a single statewide area code (with a zero for the middle digit) including my current state or RI where we have (401)

Surely SOMEONE has the link for iPhone and/or iPad ones of these... anyone?
(or is everyone else not able to get hem either??)
Got it! Couldn't for the life of me get it on the actual retail website, but Google images pointed me to the file on Apple's site. https://digitalassets-retail.cdn-apple.com/retail-image-server/705/2df/5a6/2ad/849/103/1eb/c83/613/b34/48c5a10d-0160-380a-90cb-501d03f0ae25_detroit_wallpaper_mobile.png

Also for anyone interested, I've been trying to preserve all of the official Apple Store wallpapers, and they are available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TdFF-eniy0pBIvUyPueWJBuEuy08uVkj?usp=share_link I'd love to know if I'm missing any!!

Yippee. Apple just closed the Partridge Creek location which is north of Detroit and was 2 miles from my house. Now, next Friday, I have to drive 20 miles to the Somerset store to get my iPhone Air. Thanks Apple. ?
