A Look Inside Apple Headquarters

The Apple Gazette has compiled a nice photo gallery that offers a look inside Apple Headquarters at 1 Infinite Loop. Take a look:

When you first walk inside Apple HQ, you’re greeted by the welcome/reception desk, which is situated inside the massive atrium with its bright natural light and suspended walkways.

The one and only place inside the Apple campus that’s open to the public is the Company Store. It’s the only place where you won’t get accosted by security for taking pictures, and the only place in the world where you can buy Apple logo merchandise, like shirts and hats (though they also sell iPods and other Apple products).

Hungry? Head over to the campus cafeteria. The food’s not free — not even for employees — but it’s inexpensive and very healthy.

When Apple calls one of its trademark “keynote” press conferences, it usually takes place at a public facility in San Francisco. But occasionally, for a more intimate setting, Apple brings the press to it’s own theater, which it calls the Apple Town Hall. A number of events have been held here over the years, including the infamous “Antennagate” event.

Speaking of Antennagate, that was the event where Apple, for the first time ever, opened up some of its most private doors for the press to see. Namely, the state-of-the-art Wireless Testing Lab, where they put their latest iPhone models through their paces, testing things like signal strength and user interference.
