Back in March, Apple set an April 11 return deadline for its following several delays in its return timeline due to changes in the Covid-19 situation.
The April return deadline was set after a drop in Covid-19 cases and an easing of mask mandates and other pandemic-era restrictions across the U.S.
Although many technology companies and other firms have embraced a hybrid or remote work model, Apple has made it clear that it sees in-office collaboration as a necessary part of working at the iPhone maker.
Apple's workers won't be expected to stay in-office every day of the week -- at least initially. The Cupertino tech giant is opting for a gradual return strategy that includes working in-office at least one day a week by April 11.
On May 2, staffers will need to work at least two days a week. By May 23, the number of in-person days rises to three. At that point, employees will need to head into the office on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, with Wednesdays and Fridays set aside for potential remote work.
Not everyone at Apple is happy with the arrangement, however. Apple employees have attempted to lobby for a permanent hybrid or remote work option. However, Apple has pushed forward with its plans despite those requests.

My only warning is that if you want to move up the ranks, you'll need to show your face in the office. You may not like it. But that's the reality.
I think it's about people who've left the area entirely and still want to be paid Silicon Valley salaries while they live in East Overshoe, ID.
People who work at apple can also work pretty much anywhere esle and are voting with their feet. Good for them since I'm in the same position to be able to work independent of location and pretty much wherever I want. Don't be jealous if you can't. Study hard and get a good job, make yourself valuable. Maybe then you won't envy others so much.
no one said they weren’t working. They simply aren’t working as Apple outlined upon hire. A pivot was made when a new virus appeared. Now that we know more, things have gotten normals. Time to get back to the office. Boom. Done.
