And it is that little by little everything seems to be calming down after several days with severe problems and a lot of uncertainty about this Covid-19. It is not that the virus outbreak is definitively controlled but that the company's stores in Cupertino and the rest of the country's businesses are returning to normal is good for everyone.
In any case, right now more than half of Apple's stores in the country are open, according to Bloomberg. Most Apple stores in China have been closed for the past few weeks due to the coronavirus and now it appears that they are opening with reduced hours.
We can say that most stores are returning to normal, although it is true that not all are open. Sales of Apple products in the country will suffer a lot after these closed days and production is still fair for a company that needs to have a lot of product stock, but this is a cause of force majeure and people come first.
The data provided by a UBS research note which includes official Chinese data suggest that iPhone sales fell 28 percent compared to the previous month and this may be the same in the rest of Apple devices such as iPads, AirPods and even Mac, Mac that were already affected by a drop in sales and that after all this problem it is possible that they will fall a little more. According to the other Bloomberg report released a few days ago, Apple sales began to decline in January as the coronavirus spread and the firm's store closings rebounded.
