Well, it seems that the political, economic and 'corralito' problems that this country is experiencing, mean that the sales of applications, songs or any type of Apple content is being kissed by the Cupertino company. Apple leaves the Greeks without the possibility of downloading anything from their online stores for the capital control measures imposed in Greece since the beginning of the week, something that is not good for anyone.
Apple joins the restrictions that other services are carrying out in the country and does not even allow a 99-euro-cent application or song to be purchased or iCloud storage services, but not only Apple is leaving aside the Greeks, a clear example of this is that you cannot pay via Paypal in the country.
The crisis and the measures taken by the country's authorities are affecting citizens in a very hard way, who still and having economic possibilities to buy an application, song or whatever they want in the Apple store, they cannot. The reason is that everything that is sold in the Apple online store counts as foreign sales and this goes against Apple's taxation policies in Europe.
The issue is filling social networks with a lot of complaints, but we are not sure that this will change at the moment:
Greeks can't use iTunes, the App Store, PayPal and more thanks to the financial crisis http://t.co/uWad0fdeys pic.twitter.com/aTKElv55Hx

Although it will be complicated, we want this wonderful country to raise its head from this hole in which it is immersed today.
I did not know that the situation in Greece was so complicated
Oscar paints very bad 🙁 we hope they recover soon!
Regards!
They will recover; leaving the euro any country can recover, it is also the prelude to what awaits us.
