Protests in the United States are increasingly spreading and have turned into riots in some cities. Many protesters are vandalizing and looting stores and shopping centers, causing significant losses for major brands. Apple has also fallen victim to these looting incidents.
To ensure safety, Apple has had to close nearly all Apple Store locations in the U.S. until the end of this Sunday. However, it seems that closing down is not enough; recently, Apple has taken stronger measures to safeguard its stores.
Apple has had to use large wooden boards to completely shield the exteriors of its Apple Stores across the United States. This is because the Apple Stores have glass fronts, making them vulnerable to vandalism and looting by protesters.
American citizens have shared images of Apple Stores after being fortified with barriers, creating an unprecedented scene. Many Apple Stores across the U.S. are still trying to finish erecting wooden barriers before the next wave of protests occurs.
