Things will restart for Apple USA as soon as Tim gets approval from Xi Jin-ping.This whole thing is crazy. I remember celebrating New Years and this was not on my radar for 2020. Can someone wake me up when this is all done?

It won’t. Nothing will ever ‘normalize’ after this situation, likely because it’s still not fully understood and how it will Impact retail businesses long-term, because this is something that just won’t ‘go away’.
If you look at Apple stores collectively as a whole, they will eventually reopen, but the implementation of new practices with heightened levels of cleanliness with demo products, likely restrictions on how many customers are allowed in the store at once, trial wearing for AirPods will probably be eliminated, and social distancing Will be the new norm. These are all just ‘minor examples’ of how things will not return to ‘normal’.
Nobody wants to hear the country is "closed until further notice" and the message would put a further nail in the coffin for what is going on. Put a date in the future, evaluate and reassess. But this thing isn't going away anytime too soon.Better still if they just said "closed until further notice". They don't know when they'll be able to reopen, so why put a date on it....
How does this affect return policies?...both of ordering online and buying something in a store? I have a new Mac I ordered online 4 weeks ago...it's finally arriving next week...but if I need to return it/exchange it, what's the policy?
If I need to exchange it, it would be far easier to go to my local store and swap it than spend weeks mailing it back, waiting for a refund/credit, ordering a new one, waiting for delivery, etc.
Yeah, my call all along has been late summer. Now I'm starting to hear talk of autumn from some experts, especially if the curve is flattened, because that prolongs the event but results in much fewer deaths. But the virus could also come back by then as antibodies wear off or the virus mutates. If everything goes according to plan, people will be upset because the economy is ruined and it only killed hundreds of thousands, so what was even the big deal? If we didn't do this, the economy would still be ruined with many millions dead, but it would be over sooner and people would be upset because their loved ones are gone and trying to hold someone accountable for not doing more to prevent this. Not sure if I've seen a more valid description of being wedged between a rock and a hard place, and unfortunately I feel like we're headed to an outcome in the middle of those two which is probably worse because you get a somewhat longer term event and a higher death count. UGH.Same thread on Mar 24, 2020 same reply
That is not going to happen. Hopefully yes but reality will crush in.
Did they say what year?Apple today informed employees that its Apple retail stores in the United States will remain closed until early May, and Apple employees will continue to work from home until then.
Actually, you don't. Call AppleCare and they will exchange it by mail. If you are willing to give them a credit card, they can do an advance exchange and send you the replacement while they wait for you to return your defective unit.I need the store open as soon as they can so I can get my replacement unit
No govt official wants to declare a 6 month Stay In Place anti-social distancing ruling - so they're dribbling it out one month at a time. But guaranteed in May, the CoV crisis will be worse than April and June will be worse than May and July worse than June.
Yeah
Apart from stores, I expect more controls at airports and train stations, especially for people coming from other countries.
Maybe we'll go back to our daily life once a vaccine is ready, until a new virus is discovered and we have another pandemic. At least we have learned some lessons this time, so hopefully we'll be able to act quickly in the future and avoid a massive lockdown.
I wonder about sport games and concerts, I don't think it will be possible to attend them soon, and maybe venues will be required to sell half of the tickets in order to avoid being too crowded. Same for restaurants and stores, think about Christmas shopping or black friday when there are way too many people inside malls and stores.
It's been over a hundred years since the last pandemic ...snip....
I will do that and but I’m a person with low Imune system that’s why want it to go away so I can order itActually, you don't. Call AppleCare and they will exchange it by mail. If you are willing to give them a credit card, they can do an advance exchange and send you the replacement while they wait for you to return your defective unit.
Other than not wanting to stay on hold forever, there's really no reason to wait for the store to open.
Huh? There have been pandemics all through the last 100years, the last similar one being the H1N1 flu in 2009/10.
You're immune system has NOTHING to do with you ordering a device. It's safer either way to just order it. Even if COVID was gone, it's still safer to have it delivered.I will do that and but I’m a person with low Imune system that’s why want it to go away so I can order it
