Cupertino-based Apple has temporarily closed all of their retail stores in California amid the pandemic.
According to the Apple website the 53 stores statewide are temporarily closed.
Customers with pre-scheduled appointments for in-store pickups, Genius Bar appointments and previously reserved one-on-one shopping sessions with a specialist will be able to visit stores through Tuesday.
All online services are available and most Apple products are available at Apple-authorized retailers, such as Best Buy, Costco and Target.
Apple did not immediately return emails seeking comment Saturday.
They are expected to reopen after leaving your phone plugged in overnight

Shameless plug is shameless.
I just bought an iPhone last year.
Best purchase ever.
About once a week I get a video of the grandkids. So cool. And every now and then a text message just for fun, or of importance to me.
I also keep addresses when I mail packages, and it’s great for not having to listen to the answer machine for appointment reminders.
Thought I would hate it, but I don’t.
Really keeps me in the loop.
Bonus, it counts my steps, too, and if I want to listen to music, and take great photos. Wow, it can do soooooo much.
No great loss at all, Apple can stay closed forever..
Of course, Apple can close. They are a huge conglomerate with money. The small business owners are the losers who don’t have the capital to keep their heads above water. The workers suffer and their families. If you are in a leadership position, you were supposed to know how to handle tough situations. That’s not the case. Your large corporate businesses have the money to fight to stay open and are huge donors to politicians. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. But let the small business owners suffer until they lose their livelihood. Crooked politicians should be a thing of the past and jailed for their misdealings and corruption.
Apple may be, so Cook will be fine, but how many employees who man the stores will be out of work, presumably now with no manner to earn a living (pay rent/mortgage, feed their kids, pay their taxes-since we know those won’t be shut down)? I think we are too late to jail all the crooked politicians; they have secured sufficient control to never have to worry about that.
Actually the Apple employees are all being paid their full salaries even though they will be at home. The contract employees (security, janitorial, etc) are not being paid because they are not Apple employees.
They will reopen Christmas Eve to long lines and will brag about how the sheep still stand in line for hours to get the latest Apple toy.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they applied for the PPP and actually receive it. Hey, why not since Gavin’s holdings got several million.
I can’t help but wonder if there isn’t some sort of Government program that grants Apple a few billion dollars for having closed its retail stores.
Actually you are right except for the word few.
They are closing for two reasons:
1- To assist in making Covid closures appear legitimate
2- To avoid looting losses after the next political hiccup, which is forthcoming
I wouldn’t own a Iphone if they gave it to e
