What to Do if Your iPhone Breaks While Apple Stores Are Closed – Lifehacker
In order to help reduce the spread of the coronavirus, Apple announced last week that it will be closing all of its stores outside of China until March 27th. With no Apple Store to go to, that might pose a problem should your iPhone break or if your phone (or other Apple device) was already being repaired by Apple prior to the announcement.
To help answer those questions, Apple posted a FAQ on how things will work during the closure of its stores.
The short version:
- If you need to get your device repaired during the time the Apple Store is closed, you can start that process online.
- If your device is being repaired right now you can see the status of that repair here.
- If you need to return something, you’ll have 14 days from when Apple stores in your area open again to do so. That means if stores don’t open again until May 1st, you’ll have 14 days after that to make it happen.
Apple’s online support is still up and running, so if that iPhone repair is something software-based, then you might be able to get someone to help walk you through the repair yourself online as well.

Important updates regarding the Bob-Birnie Arena
|
The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.
For all information about the Bob-Birnie arena, visit the arena’s page on our website.

Surprise Apple Event Hints at First New iPads in Years – CNET
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
