Apple stores to remain closed on Saturday

Apple has decided to keep its stores with street-facing facades closed throughout Saturday in response to planned mobilization activities. This decision aims to ensure the safety of staff and customers at these locations.

Selective store closures and reopenings

Stores located in shopping centers will continue to operate normally, as they are protected by the enclosed environments of these centers. However, stores in more exposed locations, such as Aix-en-Provence, Bordeaux, Lille, Strasbourg, and three flagship stores in Paris, will remain closed on Saturday.

Special exception for Sunday

These seven affected Apple Stores will be allowed to open on Sunday for a limited time, from noon to 6 p.m. This exception is intended to provide some level of service to customers while maintaining safety.

Warning about stolen iPhones

Following recent incidents of looting, Apple has issued a warning about the potential sale of stolen iPhones on classified advertisement sites. Customers are advised to be cautious when purchasing used devices.

Lille store reopening delayed

The Apple Store in Lille has not yet reopened after damages sustained last weekend. The reopening, initially expected on Wednesday, has been repeatedly postponed and is now scheduled for 2 p.m. today.

Efforts to meet customer demand

Despite the delays and challenges, Apple is working to fulfill customer orders for the iPhone Duo. The company acknowledges the difficult circumstances and extends its support to the affected store teams.
