Apple’s extensive network of physical retail stores is set to once again expand, with it looking likely that a number of new outlets will open up before the year’s end, including in Singapore and the much awaited store near the WTC in New York City.

We may be fast approaching the end of 2015, but that hasn’t stopped officials in New York City from making good on a promise it made to residents. It was almost a year ago that NYC Mayor, Bloomberg announced the city’s plan to replace old defunct public pay-phones with an infrastructure of connection points that would operate as gigabit Wi-Fi points across all five boroughs. It may have taken over a year but the first LinkNYC access points have finally entered into an installation phase as we get ready to welcome 2016.
