New Apple store in New York arrives at Grand Central Terminal. This marks the fifth Apple store to launch in Manhattan, and the first to provide 15-minute express Apple product tutorials.

As you can see in the photo, courtesy of Bryan Bedder of The Daily, the new store conforms beautifully to the 140 year old train station. Subtle Apple logos grace minor areas along the east balcony, while simple display tables decorate the spacious 23,000 square foot retail destination.

The Grand Central Terminal store will offer 45 of those simple display tables, 3 walls of accessories, and two Genius Bars. Oh ... and 315 employees. Which, by the way,  Apple fans no longer necessarily need to make a purchase. Shoppers can use their iPhone to conveniently scan and pay for items without once speaking to a worker. Yep. More time to speak to Siri.

The new store will operate from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Friday, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Apple's Grand Central Terminal location opens Friday, 12/9/11.
