"It’s a bird ... it’s a plane ... it’s a spaceship?"
Apple Inc. may be famous for its aesthetically-attractive gadgets, but it may also be known for its latest project, a spaceship-style campus.
The company may be too pre-occupied with the preparations for the launching of iPhone 6, which was scheduled on 9 September, to entertain any questions about it eye-catching infrastructure, but this hasn’t stopped some curious folks from peeking around over at the construction site.
YouTuber jmcminn has captured video on a GoPro Hero 3+ using a Phantom 2 drone, and the end result shows us the foundation of this building for the first time. Earlier shots of the construction site were pretty much just pictures of crop circles in the dirt.
This video not only takes a look at the circular building structure, but shows just how big the campus is in relation to the neighboring buildings. And based on comparison, the Apple campus is one huge and impressive undertaking.
Apple has been planning this new campus for a long time, with the city of Cupertino giving the company permission to get started back in 2012. However, not much was heard after that because public attention was focused more on its product.
Of course, compared to the mockups leaked last November 2013, the video can be a bit of a let down for those who expect a Star Wars-like structure from the producer of light saber phones.
You may wonder when it will fly, but here's an artist's rendition of how it will look like when it is finished:
