The tech giant opened its door at The Mall at Bay Plaza Friday, coinciding with the launch of the iPhone 13.

Previously, the closest brick-and-mortar Apple locations were in Yonkers and on the Upper East Side.

Among the notable features will be a new “community table” store setup, an emphasis on in-store pickups and a dedicated waiting area, according to 9To5Mac.

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. said an Apple Store in his borough was something he had long advocated for, and that it brought in 105 jobs.
