Apple Resumes In-Person 'Today at Apple' Sessions in the United States

Apple today announced that it is resuming in-person "Today at Apple" sessions at Apple Stores across the United States.

Apple retail Today at Apple Lady Gaga
Starting on March 7, Apple will resume the in-person sessions in time to celebrate Women's History Month. Apple invites music fans and creators of all skill levels to their local Apple Store to explore remixing music in GarageBand, using music by Lady Gaga.

During the free 30-minute session, participants will experiment with Live Loops, Remix FX, and more, to create a unique version of Lady Gaga's song "Free Woman." Participants can register now at apple.co/remix-lady-gaga.

Due to the global health crisis, Apple suspended in-person Today at Apple sessions and began offering a version of them on YouTube, going on to upload videos on drawing yourself as a "Peanuts" character in the Pages app using an ‌iPad‌ and ‌Apple Pencil‌, shooting and editing "otherworldly" photos with Night Mode, creating looped videos in the Clips app, shooting portrait photos, and taking expressive pet portraits.

Apple backtracked on a decision in August 2021 to continue the in-person sessions in the United States, but resumed in-person Today at Apple sessions in Europe in September 2021. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently reported that Apple was planning to resume the in-person sessions imminently, while also dropping mask mandates depending on local guidelines.

Unfortunately there’s been too many people unwilling to take personal responsibility.
Unfotunitatly there are too many people who refuse to get back to normal and want to live in a perpetual state of terror as well. Thankfully FINALLY, common sense is prevailing.

Glad to see business as usual.

I love election years. Everything gets back to "normal," for a short time before the next unnecessary panic.

What are you talking about? Wearing masks and working from home are reasonable things. It’s not fear, and it’s normal. Most countries have people wear mask all the time and it’s not judged. Common sense is to learn from history and to change behaviors maximize the value of experiences. It doesn’t matter if COVID was 100% cured, masks are better than no masks. If someone doesn’t understand why than they are a great example why you don’t let people decide.
