According to the recent inside news from within Apple Inc., it is planning to upgrade its "Apple Store" retail app of iOS, adding the new support for build-to-order Mac purchases. It is expectedly scheduled to take place during the routine retail servicing this weekend. MacRumors also asserted that Apple has plans to add this new feature in Apple Store application for iOS devices along with other routinely planned upgrades to its online and brick-and-mortar retail operations as well. It is being told that this up gradation will not take long, and the newly updated app will be available on Sunday "with full support for customizing build-to-order Macs." This would mean that there would be no more difference in the options available through the Apple online store and Apple Store application iOS anymore. Currently the Apple Store app for iOS devices only supported features like stock configurations, AppleCare and One to One. Once this upgrade is enrolled the customers will be able to only be able order customized processor, memory, hard drive but also several other hardware options for every model on the store, along with select software titles for reinstallation. The scheduled plans of Apple revamping its Stores include a number of major upgrades to not only for its iOS Apple Store app but also the online Apple Store; procedures are scheduled to take place on this Sunday, 22nd May. Apple already disabled the option of inquiring order status on its website, on Friday until Sunday, for the up gradations of its Sores.

The crowds have been rushing, and have become restless to get their hands on the trendy iPad 2 tablet computer in China. The Beijing News reported that consumers have become very agitated, as many even began queuing outside the Apple store since Saturday afternoon after witnessing the presence of a "foreign" Apple employee. It is being also mentioned that this foreign Apple employee broke into the crowd and starting to bully and punish those who were suspiciously jumping the queue jumping. This action of the foreign employee perhaps was intolerable for the distressed customers, who right after his departure back into the store, began smashing the glass front door. These were not only selective people, but the crowd as a whole reacted to the intervening of the foreign employee, as they even went on struggling with the vigilant security guards who appeared instantly. The guards apparently charged immediately on the anger group which was being created among the public, and took control of the radicalization. The Apple store in Beijing's chic Sanlitun commercial district had to shut down earlier than their routine Saturday time, due to these inhumane acts of customers. For formal remarks on the incident by Apple officials, their phones went unanswered to the AFP. However, it was noticeable, that despite their early shut down, the voice recording on the phone still stated that that the store is open for business.
