It felt like a dream come true. Visiting the heart of Apple in Cupertino, the city known as the birthplace of modern technology. A place where pirates and rebels poured their blood and sweat into challenging the tech giants of their time.
Apple still holds a special place in my heart. Back then, owning an iPod was already a stretch. A MacBook for my DJ gigs? Totally out of reach. Alhamdulillah, Yudhi and Aulia were always kind enough to let me borrow theirs. But Allah always has His own way and His perfect timing. He opened a door for me to work at the company. Suddenly, I wasn’t just borrowing Macs anymore. On my first day, they handed me an iMac, a MacBook, and a Thunderbolt Display. Not to mention the chance to try out products before the public ever saw them. What a privilege.
It was a sunny Friday in San Francisco. The date is April 4th, 2025. I was grateful that Robin took me to the Apple Visitor Center at Apple Park. Although I left the company a few years ago, I still admire what they are building. The innovation, the care, the attention to detail, it is all still alive.
The staff, as always, were incredibly welcoming. You could feel how proud and passionate they were, speaking about the products like they were sharing something they helped bring to life. That feeling? Pure Apple magic.
Here are a few photos I took during the visit. I hope you can feel a bit of that magic too.
