Ondrej Holzman Dubai should get the new Apple Store, which will also be the largest in the world. Due to the laws of the United Arab Emirates, it has not yet had any brick-and-mortar apple stores, however, Apple has now obtained the necessary permits, so it can start building its popular stores in Dubai as well. Two of them will grow up in the United Arab Emirates.
UAE law prevented Apple from operating its own brick-and-mortar store in the country, as UAE regulations require any business operating in the UAE to be majority-owned by Emirati residents. But now Apple has obtained an exception that it can keep 100% control over the store, even though it is an American company.
Apple should not be the only one to be exempt from existing laws, the government in the UAE is planning to amend the law by allowing more foreign investors into the country in certain sectors.
The first-ever Dubai Apple Store is to grow in the giant Mall of the Emirates shopping center, which has an area of over 4 square meters. The second apple store will be established in Abu Dhabi, in the newly opened Yas Mall.
Apple opened its online store in the United Arab Emirates in 2011 and will now add a brick-and-mortar option, which should be of great interest in the wealthy country. After all, Tim Cook himself visited the places where the new Apple Story could grow last year.
The last paragraph probably unintentionally sounds like there are no physical stores with Apple products in the UAE. Of course they exist - they're just under the iStyle brand. What has been missing so far is only the original "designer" Apple Store, otherwise the entire portfolio of products is already normally available and novelties (such as new iPhones) are on sale even earlier than in the Czech Republic.
The last paragraph sounds exactly as it should…. iStyle is not an apple store…. likewise iSetos and the like…. they are only authorized resellers... you can buy apple products on alza and anywhere else, but that does not mean that they have anything to do with the apple store....
Well, it would be nice if one grew up here too. iStyle, iWant and td I miss the expertise of the sellers there - they just don't know much about it and when I go and intend to spend 70 - 000 and have certain questions, I want the staff to give me professional advice - if I want to listen, I don't know, I don't know , I don't know, I'll ask so I'll bet in EW and td and I'll save another five.
It's more about people. In the Apple Store in Dresden, I asked if the Apple Watch supports Czech and the answer was yes. At the same time, he doesn't go there. So it's not really about that. Ok, I take it Apple Stores have a Genius bar – yes, they have to order there.)
If there is a problem, Google or Macforums have to solve it anyway. Even if, for example, there was an AppleStore office in Prague with geniuses, I wouldn't risk the trip for someone to give me advice. Restart, restore...replace. Maybe for the third one, on the spot. The holy trinity, which both Czechs and optional Indians conjure, or have conjured (telephone line). That's a waste of time :)
Apple will come in handy for Arabs. There's nothing better than having a cheetah and a Macbook in your Bentley.
