Apple has made a number of adjustments to its business to adapt to the coronavirus outbreak. On Friday, CEO Tim Cook announced in a letter posted on the company’s website that it would close all of its retail stores “outside of Greater China” until March 27th. Also on Friday, Apple announced that WWDC 2020 in June would shift to an online-only experience but still with a keynote and developer sessions.
