How can I check my local Apple Store’s holiday hours?

Use the official Apple Store Locator to search by ZIP code or city. It will show current hours, upcoming closures and available services like Genius Bar appointments or in-store pickup.

Is the Genius Bar open on holidays?

Not always. Genius Bar appointments may be limited or unavailable on holidays when stores are closed or operating on reduced schedules. It’s best to schedule ahead or use Apple’s online support tools for urgent issues.

Can I still order from Apple.com during a holiday?

Are mall-based Apple Stores closed more often than standalone locations?

For gift returns, you must provide a product serial number or order number.
