Apple stores in NYC temporarily pick-up only

NEW YORK, N.Y. (WHEC) — The media giant is restricting its brick and mortar stores as the COVID infection rate soares.

This means no browsing for iPhones or iPads, no activating purchases in-store, and no genius bar help. For the time being, all you can do at Apple in New York City is pick up an online order.

Last week, Apple even had to temporarily closed stores in Atlanta, Houston, and New Hampshire due to staff COVID cases.

However, this only applies to NYC. In the rest of the state, including Victor, Apple stores are operating like usual. There is a mask mandate at all U.S. stores.
