In an exclusive report ifoAppleStore has released pictures of one of the three Apple Stores to open today which have been said to sport new features based on Apple's Fifth Avenue Store.

The images contain no sign of a payment area so it's quite possible that EasyPay systems will be used a lot in the store although these do not cater for cash purchases.
The new store design features a Genius Bar at the rear with a Studio Bar to the left and iPod Bar to the right.
As was reported earlier this week the new design focuses heavily on getting more products on display and down the whole right side of the store is a line of iPods and the tables down the middle are larger with more products on them.
[Update 23/9/2006 17.30 BST] ifoAppleStore confirms that two pay counters are towards the rear of the store, apologies for that omission.
