Apple’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations Coming to Three More Countries

Apple kicked off its 50th anniversary celebrations with a surprise Alicia Keys performance at its Grand Central store in New York last week, and it has since hosted similar events in China and South Korea. Next up, we have discovered that Apple is planning to host additional celebrations in Canada, France, and Thailand.

On its Canadian website, Apple says it will be hosting a talk with professional figure skater Elladj Baldé, as part of its free Today at Apple program. The session will take place at Apple’s Pacific Centre store in Vancouver on Thursday, March 26.

“Join us to celebrate 50 years of thinking different at Apple with professional figure skater Elladj Baldé,” says Apple. “Discover how he uses ice as a catalyst for creativity and change — inspiring a new generation of athletes to be fearlessly authentic.”

On his Instagram page, Baldé can be seen skating on a frozen lake in Canada’s Banff National Park. He recorded a video of himself with the iPhone 17 Pro’s Dual Capture mode, which captures footage from the front and rear cameras simultaneously.

In France, there will be four Today at Apple sessions tied to the company’s 50th anniversary at Apple’s Champs-Élysées store in Paris. Two of the sessions take place on Wednesday, March 25, and another two follow on Thursday, March 26.
