On March 18, Apple announced that it will close all retail stores outside Greater China indefinitely, and the opening time will be announced separately.
Apple's official homepage states, " Our retail stores are closed until further notice." In addition, Apple websites in many countries show retail stores closed until further notice.
On March 13, Apple announced that it would close all retail stores outside Greater China until March 27. On this day, Apple's retail stores in mainland China all resumed business.
At present, the epidemic situation in China has improved markedly. All 42 retail stores in China have been open, and most of them are open from 10 to 20:00.

Although affected by the epidemic, Apple still claims that it will also provide better services to users in special times.
At present, Apple requires employees not to actively offer AirPods or Apple Watch trials to customers. If customers explicitly request trials, employees can meet them.
Apple has previously provided trial versions of AirPods or Apple Watch. Allow users to try.
In addition, Apple's WWDC conference is also held online, and the spring launch of iPhone 9 products is likely to be postponed.
