Apple opens all its US stores
Apple said on Mon all its 270 US stores have been opened, the 1st time in almost a 12 months after it was forced to shutter several outlets as a result of Covid-19 pandemic.
The business has been cautious in reopening its shops, using a team that includes medical experts to create its calls on a county-by-county basis and sometimes shuttering stores again when localized rules would otherwise allow stores to use.
The iPhone maker in addition has expanded its 'Express' format, a wall built-in front of the primary store with sales counters protected by plexiglass and some shelves of accessories such as for example phone cases and AirPods.
Apple closed all shops and offices outside Greater China found in March due to the Covid-19 pandemic spread around the world. Nevertheless, it began reopening some of stores in the third week of May this past year, as countries steadily eased restrictions.
Shop closures have not damaged its pace of product launches. The business launched different smartwatches, iPads, iPhones and registration services.
Apple reached a $2 trillion (Dh7.34tn) market capitalisation in June this past year, almost double its benefit just two years earlier.
