Apple tests out 'Express' store to reduce COVID-19 risks

What does an Apple Store look like in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic? It'll be more closed off than you're used to. The Apple Express store, which the company is testing out in Burlingame, California, is walled off with a small window for staffers to serve one customer at a time. Those who pre-ordered products online can get their purchase after queueing for it. Genius bar appointments are handled at another window.

It might not have the same level of polish Apple customers might be used to. But with the pandemic still happening, this limited amount of service the company can offer is better than nothing.
