It's been a rocky road for Apple's return-to-office plans. Over the past few months, we've reported on numerous stops and starts, but the industry behemoth seems to have come to the hardest stop yet, according to a Bloomberg report.

According to a memo sent to Apple employees by CEO Tim Cook, the company's return-to-office date (which was last set at February 1 a few weeks ago) has once again been delayed-but this time, it has been delayed to a "date yet to be determined." Up to this point, previous delays had set a new target. Not so this time.

Cook wrote in the memo that the delay is due to "rising cases in many parts of the world" as well as "the emergence of a new strain of the virus." He described the change in plans as a delay, though, not a cancellation. Employees will get at least four weeks of notice before a new return-to-office date, he added.
