What you need to know

Apple Marina Bay Sands opens in Singapore soon.
Nobody knows when it will open, but it seems to be imminent.
The whole thing is sat on water.

Apple's newest Apple Store to arrive in Singapore will be Apple Marina Bay sands and it's stunning. Not least because it floats on water.

According to Today, the Apple store will be opening "soon" although there's no confirmation exactly when that will be. Apple's website doesn't offer more useful information, but there's a funky animated video to get the hype train up to full speed. Not to mention some wallpapers for your iPhone, Mac, and iPad.

Apple's newest store in Singapore will be housed in a spectacular sphere floating on the waters of Marina Bay, and will be the first Apple store in the world that sits on water.
