I believe that sight unseen. That sounds exactly like something Apple would do.
I was referring to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and they had site access issues (no good crane access) so it might be that Apple could use more modern crane tech to get a single piece dropped in there. Plus while the acrylic panels of Open Seas lends itself to chemical bonding I don't know how glass would be fused to provide the same invisible bonds. I've looked closely at the Monterey panels and there's barely a waver with the two faces of the adjoining panels maintaining the light path close to perfectly... and those panels are many inches thick to resist the pressure of the display's water.
Heavy lift tech has improved greatly since the 80's so I wouldn't be surprised by a one piece panel. (Coupled to a very strict "NO SNOWBLOWERS!" policy... lol)
One quibble, for a "cube" I'd want the height to better match the linear dimensions.
I've never been to this Mall of America but I'm glad you replied. Note that I stated they seemed drab which clearly implies "gives the impression or sensation of being something or having a particular quality" which therefore means it's my impression, not some general impression I expect everyone else to adhere to or that I'm stating as an absolute proof that can't be questioned. If you had written it I imagine it would read like this, "Every mall store was drab until Apple came along."

That's an excellent link. Thanks for sharing - it's going in a science lesson tomorrow as something awesome to think about.

Somewhere else I read they delivered the panel in five pieces and chemically bonded them onsite.

An istore for the irabs.
Seemingly.
Nothing wrong with drab. I take refuge in drab.
