Apple continues to gradually reopen its retail stores around the world as conditions allow, with all 20 of its locations in France resuming business starting today and several more to follow in the Netherlands and Sweden tomorrow.

Apple has now reopened over 300 of its 510 retail stores worldwide, according to 9to5Mac, although some locations in the United States subsequently closed again due to anti-racism protests across the country. The company's stores remain closed in the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Singapore, as well as in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec.

Enhanced health and safety measures are in place, such as social distancing and reduced operating hours. Apple is also requiring that all employees and customers wear a face covering while inside the store and will provide one to customers who do not bring one. At some stores, sales and service are operating on a storefront or curbside basis only.

In a letter to customers last month, Apple said that it looks at all available data before deciding to reopen a store, including local cases, near and long‑term trends, and guidance from national and local health officials. Apple also said that it would not rule out the possibility of closing a store again should local conditions warrant.

Why they do not open stores in the US? I have two MacBook Pros with the stupid lines all over the screen and there is a recall for that issue. They are both almost useless since March and I am waiting for the Apple Stores to open to get them fixed.

"reopened" sure. I went to my local store to return something, and the actual store wasn't even open. They directed me to a parking lot. From there they were only helping customers from their cars, and you had to make an appointment. I explained i was returning something, and they again told me to make an appointment. I showed them the app and asked them how. I told them I tried to use the app to return my items, but it wasn't working. They eventually helped me after about an hour or so. I wouldn't have called it open by any means.

I think it varies by region. At my store you can actually go in and shop and they are limiting the number of people inside.

Makes sense, but they should probably update the app and store hours information to help customers understand what stores offer during this time. We had riots in my area and they were very quick to update the app to display temp closures and new times. I am suggesting they provide some expectations for customers. Some ppl have to drive out of there way to go to a store

I don't think you've been paying attention to Apple the past few years.

It's a special mask using magic paper fibers that only Apple could create crafted with Apple's attention to detail. Every fiber is manually deposited someone in a far off factory making 10 cents an hours.. The mask will have a big Apple logo over the mouth and nose and it will only cost $499.
