Apple is slowly opening up stores around the globe as lockdown restrictions are lifted. Here’s where they’ve opened up, as well as where they remain closed.
Apple is opening its retail stores on a case-by-case basis, and are relying on the CDC guidance to do so. The stores that are open offer most of their services, but with precautions in place to protect customers and employees.
If you do need to visit an Apple Store, you’ll have your temperature taken and be required to wear a mask, with Apple providing masks to those who don’t have one. Only a few customers are allowed in at a time, and while you are able to browse, it is encouraged that you only go in for service appointments.
Apple has 510 retail stores around the world, with 271 in the United States and 239 located in other countries. Most of the stores are still closed, with the majority of open stores being in China, which lifted its lockdown back in March.
The coronavirus remains a problem for most of the world, but some countries are handling the pandemic better than others. Apple has a 19-year history in retail, and relies heavily on the foot traffic to promote its products and its vision.
If Apple Stores are unable to totally open up by the fall iPhone launch, it could greatly impact their sales, even with an online store.
It can be difficult to keep track of what stores are open where, so AppleInsider is providing a tracker to help. At least 149 stores have reopened globally since the initial lockdown, 107 of which are outside of China.
