Apple Store Singapore is not likely to open in time for Christmas, according to an updated information board outside its site in Orchard Road.

Outside Knightsbridge mall, the sign now shows an expected completion date of January 30 – a three-month delay.
No reason has been offered for the delay with Singapore’s first Apple Store, and the mall’s facade is still covered by white construction hoarding and canvas.

Tall glass structures were already in place at the construction site in July, most likely for Apple’s signature glass facade for its flagship stores.

Work on the store started in May, and it could potentially span four floors.
