Apple products are already prime targets for thieves so I’m sure you can imagine how much worse things would be if the products in question were also coated in gold. That’s why the gold edition of the upcoming Apple Watch is going to be stored in special safes which are already being installed in Apple Stores.
Like a traditional jewelry store, Apple will outfit its official retail stores with safes to house the more expensive, gold “Edition” variants of the upcoming Apple Watch, according to sources. The safes will likely be used to carry both to-be-sold inventory as well as to store demo units from the show floor overnight. The custom-designed safes will be outfitted with Apple Watch MagSafe chargers in order to keep the demo units charged up and ready to go for the next day of business. Apple has already begun installing the safes in some stores ahead of the Apple Watch’s expected release April.
