Why Did Apple Start a Local Online Store?
The big talk among local Apple fans in the social networks is the new Philippine Apple Store.
It would seem that Apple is now taking a gamble on the local market with an online store like this. As Globe released the iPhone, I would think that many Filipinos bought software from the iTunes App store (since that’s the only thing you can buy there anyway).
Truth be told, I did buy one software from the iTunes store.
Perhaps seeing the shopping numbers there, Apple thought – “What the hell? There’s a market in the Philippines!”
Perhaps not. Who can tell? (The local Apple execs probably).
Still, this is good news for Mac fans. Heck, I might just buy something just to try it out.
