Apple’s new headquarters will apparently have toilets that look like iPhones
Apple is opening a new headquarters in Cupertino, California that resembles a giant spaceship. The futuristic campus is being built with astonishing attention to detail, including the world’s largest piece of curved glass inside the main building, and toilets that look like actual Apple iPhones. That’s right, Apple wants its employees to poop in oversized iPhones.
If you gotta go at work, it might as well be a fun experience, right?
The new Apple headquarters was Steve Job’s last big project before he passed away in 2011. The 2.8 million-square-foot campus began development that same year, and even though the completion date keeps getting pushed back, it looks as if it should be ready by spring 2017, according to a Reuters report.
When completed, the campus will be an office for up to 14,200 employees and will be surrounded by thousands of trees.
And deep within the canopy of trees lives restrooms full of iPhone toilets.
Employees probably won’t be able to text or play Candy Crush on iToilets, but they’ll at least make them feel right at home.
Every aspect of the campus will somehow resemble Apple’s well-known features.
"Apple's novel approach to the building took many forms," according to Reuters. "Architect German de la Torre, who worked on the project, found many of the proportions - such as the curve of a rounded corner - came from Apple's products. The elevator buttons struck some workers as resembling the iPhone's home button; one former manager even likened the toilet's sleek design to the device. But de la Torre ultimately saw that Apple executives were not trying to evoke the iPhone per se, but rather following something akin to the Platonic ideal of form and dimension."
OKAY, so that’s just a fancy way of saying “toilets that look a lil like iPhones.”
We have yet to see any pictures from inside the buildings, but based on the sleekness of all Apple products, we imagine it’ll be a visually pleasing place to work (and poop).
