Apple’s new campus is scheduled to be completed in 2017 Apple project rendering
Apple Inc.’s new spaceship-like headquarters in Cupertino, California is starting to come together, according to the latest drone footage taken from the construction site.
Drone photographer Duncan Sinfield shot Apple’s AAPL, +0.22% Campus 2 this week and posted the footage to YouTube. The footage shows the finishing touches on the fitness center, nearly-finished parking structures and progress under way at Apple’s new R&D facility.
The glass-panel facade on the main building is about half installed, while the carbon-fiber roof is being prepped for solar panels. The curved windows are the largest of their kind in the world, with 900 of the 3,000 windows over 46-feet long, according to Mashable
.
The underground auditorium, which will seat around 1,000 people and be used for future product launches, has also been covered, according to the footage.
Drone photographers have been tracking the progress of Apple’s Campus 2 for well over a year, posting monthly updates of progress and close-up aerial shots.

Just imagine the cost for drapes and carpet for that place!
How about maid service. . .
“I read an article that stated the iPhone 4 retailed for $699-750, and had a little under $136 in components and labor.”

Apple definitely has great profit margins.
But keep in mind the cost of R&D both for hardware and software.
Same with drug companies. Everyone complains about the $40 pill, but the companies have to do all the research, and jump through government hoops for approval$.
