Apple has posted several job listings today for an upcoming retail store in Macau, a Special Administrative Region of China. The store is looking to fill Specialist, Creative, Genius, Store Leader and Manager positions, in addition to hiring for the Apple Store Leader Program and multiple business-related positions.
Chinese-language newspaper Macao Dailyreported in June that Apple is planning to open a flagship store in Macau, which is located across from Hong Kong, but the news went largely uncovered by mainstream media. At the time, the report claimed that Apple had not finalized a location for the upcoming store.

With the iPhone 15 series, I did an experiment and kept my iPhone's Charge Limit set at 80 percent for an entire year. It provided an interesting look at the impact of charge limits on battery longevity, so I decided to repeat it for the iPhone 16 line.
Since September 2024, my iPhone 16 Pro Max has been limited to an 80 percent charge, with no cheating. As of today, my battery's maximum...

Macau being one of the world's richest cities ('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macau'), you might be compensated very well tho. Don't forget to brush up on your Cantonese, Mandarin and Portuguese..... :D
The Macao Apple Store is under construction/decoration, located in the Galaxy Mega resort Phase II. The construction includes a structural modification to the floor slab (to accommodate Apple signature glass staircase), so the construction took a bit longer than the other shops (those opened in May 2015).
BTW, Macao is a fine place to live and have good people to make friend with (and fine food of course!). (I am from Hong Kong...:-) ). And Portuguese is a beautiful language worth to learn (though we rarely use Portuguese in macao)
No one really speaks Portuguese anymore in Macau, so no worries.
Still a small population of Portuguese speaking Macanese you may encounter. Though they can speak fluent Cantonese or English, talk to them in Portuguese are definitely benifitial. :-).
Yup, no worries. Apart from legal or formal governmental issues, this is the popularity of language in Macao : Cantonese-Mandarin-English-Portuguese .
