Seven Apple stores in France are closed today due to anticipated demonstrations. This precautionary measure follows looting incidents at two Apple stores during protests last week. The affected stores, including all three Paris locations, are those with direct street access. Stores located within shopping malls are expected to remain open. These closures aim to protect both employees and company property from potential damage. Last week's demonstrations focused on rising living costs and poor school conditions, with some protests escalating into violence and looting. Stolen iPhones from the previous looting reportedly displayed messages indicating they were disabled and being tracked. Most of the closed stores are scheduled to reopen on Sunday. However, the Lille and Strasbourg locations will remain closed until Monday. This shows Apple's consistent efforts to prioritize safety during periods of civil unrest.
