Apple retail stores are like traditional stores, where you are required to carry all your purchases after completing your transaction, but it will soon offer a new delivery option.
Before this new policy, customer assistance will end once the customer walks out the door (not the warranty). However, Apple will have a new way to sell its products.
Apple will have a new program that will be able to sell products and have them shipped to the customer directly. It could be an effective strategy for Vision Pro, which is sometimes complicated for consumers due to its different accessories and add-ons.
People visit the Apple store in the Oculus Mall in Manhattan on July 29, 2021 in New York City. Numerous stores in the mall, including the Apple store, have required guests to start wearing masks again as the Delta variant of Covid spreads through New York City.
Apple Retail Stores to Offer Delivery Options for Customers
According to the renowned Apple analyst Mark Gurman via his Power-On Newsletter, Apple will have a new EasyPay Online Ordering program that will be available in early August.
It means that salespeople at Apple retail stores could sell products and have them shipped to the customer directly through their EasyPay point-of-sale machines. Before, Apple only offered to help customers fill out an online order that guaranteed them a delivery option whenever needed.
9to5 Mac claimed that this would help Apple free up its storage spaces in retail stores and offer customers convenience whenever they require such assistance.

Why Is Apple Offering Deliveries from Retail Stores?
The Apple analyst believes this home delivery from the company is signaling the arrival of the Vision Pro and its accessories, as there would be many options and combinations for its add-ons.
The latest Apple wearable will feature a different experience for its customizations and modifications, and despite having no stock, customers may opt to purchase it and have it delivered to their homes once available.
Apple Stores and its Operations
The Apple Store is known for being the direct connection of people to the Cupertino company, as it directly offers all of the technology from the company at the right price and stock information. The company has defeated many adversities, including the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, which forced the closure of some of its stores in various locations.
During the pandemic, Apple even launched some iconic retail stores worldwide, including Singapore's Apple Store in Marina Bay Sands featuring a floating orb. Apple is also known for being fond of restoring iconic locations like the 19th-century Italian building in Rome that retained its original look.
Apart from Apple being known for its availability in other countries, the US remains one of the countries with the most Apple Stores that are highly accessible to the public.
The latest delivery program of Apple will help customers buy more, even if stocks are not available yet. The EasyPay transaction would surely fulfill it, including the delivery of future Vision Pro.
