Apple to delay reopening of shops in China
10 February, 2020
Apple Inc is extending its retail store closures in China as a result of coronavirus outbreak, even as it worked towards opening its corporate offices and contact centres, the iPhone maker said on Friday.
The business earlier this month said it would shut most of its official stores and corporate offices in mainland China until Feb.9 as a result of outbreak.
“We will work toward re-opening our corporate offices and contact centres the week of February 10, and we are making preparations to reopen our shop,” the company said in a statement.
“We will continue steadily to update our customers as opening dates are finalised.”
Apple remains heavily reliant on China both for smartphone sales as well as for its supply chain and manufacturing.
