Apple has told its employees they must come in to the office for at least three days a week from next month, in an effort to restore “in-person collaboration”.

In a memo to all employees, Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, said the policy would require all staff to return to the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as a third day that would vary team by team.
