| Apple plans to close its US retail stores for several hours on Wednesday so employees can take part in a company-wide celebration of co-founder Steve Jobs' life, a person familiar with the celebration said.
Store employees in United States will use that time to view a live broadcast of the event, which is being held at an outdoor amphitheater at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California.
The celebration - which will be held from 10 am local time (4am AEDT) to 11:30 am - will follow a private memorial service for the late tech visionary at Stanford University expected to be attended by Silicon Valley luminaries, politicians and celebrities. Advertisement: Story continues below
Many Apple stores across California were not accepting online bookings for Wednesday morning, either for tech-support or tutorial appointments.
