Apple will close almost all of its French stores during the lockdown.
The apple brand has announced that only three Apple Stores will remain partially open for the moment, reports
Numerama.
Customers will be able to access the Opera, Quatre Temps and Rosny 2 Apple Stores, all located in Ile-de-France, by appointment only.
The stores will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Customers will only be able to come to pick up online orders and take advantage of the support.
Confined to the release of the iPhone 12
For the other stores, Apple plans to open "for the withdrawal of current online orders and for assistance with our Genius by appointment made before October 29, 2020".
Once these orders have been collected and these appointments made, the stores will therefore remain closed until the end of the confinement.
Apple recalls that all barrier gestures must be respected in the store, stating that the premises are regularly disinfected by employees.
The French confinement falls badly for the American firm, which has just put on sale its new iPhone 12 and its variations.
Other new products, like the HomePod mini speaker, had also just been presented to the public.
