It was inevitable. Drones would be use to supply content to Apple-crazy tech blogs. Just as Apple mania is reaching a fever over the iPhone 6 and “iWatch,” someone shoots some video that will add more to the hype. An unknown someone, reports 9to5Mac, flew a drone over the giant new campus that will one day be home to Apple’s “spaceship” headquarters, and a lot of foliage. The drone took pictures and shot video. The ginormous new campus was one of the last things Steve Jobs envisioned before his death.
The 8-minute video, highlighted by Apple Spotlight and embedded below, shows the latest progress on Apple’s Campus 2. Although the spaceship site is cordoned off by high walls to prevent pictures at street level, a GoPro-equipped drone has no trouble getting the aerial shots seen in the video. Images of the campus were last seen in July. In that time, the video shows that the project has made significant progress, with it looking less like dirt and more like the foundation of buildings. The video also highlights the sheer size of the property in relation the surrounding buildings. Apple is expected to complete Campus 2 in 2016.
