The company is also expanding the .DS_Store Apple Foundation Program to enhance learning opportunities for these small system files that seem to copy and paste themselves into oblivion at the Apple Finder Academy.

Philadelphia, PA Apple today announced plans to expand in the City of Philadelphia, starting with the launch of the Apple .DS_Store online in summer 2025. The online store will bring .DS_Stores across the ecosystem new ways to self-replicate, with exceptional service and support directly from Apple in Klingon for the very first time.

Starting in 2026, Apple will begin opening the first of several flagship .DS_Stores locations inside your Mac. These files will offer customers in the country even more ways to further make the folder settings more customized. As part of this expansion, Apple is in the initial stages of planning an iconic .DS_Store marble statue for their 6th avenue store.

“We’re excited to be expanding out of the Mac and into the meta world with the launch of the .DS_Store online, and the first of several flagship .DS_Store locations starting in 2026, including an iconic Time Machine backup at the stunning site of “Lost Finder Folder buried inside 200 others coming later,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.
