Those dreams of massive cities full of beautiful Apple store-style glass cube buildings? They’ve been officially been smashed. Apple has won a patent on its glass cube building design, effectively guaranteeing that the only see-through cube buildings you’ll see in US cities, at least the ones that look like Apple stores, will be property of Apple. Discovered by Apple Insider, the patent document reveals that the design patent, filed in October 2012, was officially granted on Aug. 26 of this year. It lists late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs as one of the design’s inventors.
