Just like Apple had announced a few days ago, the Cupertino-based company just officially open the doors virtual from the online Apple Store in India, an Apple Store where everyone in the country can buy each and every one of the products that Apple currently offers on the market.
Apple has faced different obstacles before being able to open the online store, such as government restrictions related to production sources (30% of products must be manufactured in the country) and regulations that limit imports and exports, restrictions that have allowed an increase in the international investment in the country.
India's new online Apple Store offers the full range of products that Apple currently has on the market in addition to all the additional services such as Apple Arcade, Apple Music, iCloud ... The opening of this store is the first step for Apple to be able to physically establish itself in the country through physical stores, although it will not be until late 2021 when the Cupertino-based company can open the first store.
As there are no physical stores available, Apple specialists are available online to help customers with their orders, when configuring their devices, informing about products ... The new Apple Store is available in both English and Hindi, the two official languages in the country.
Student discounts, like financing options that we can find in other countries, are also available in India, as is the device exchange program (they only accept iPhone, Samsung and OnePlus at the moment). Apple's relationship with India started more than 20 years agoHowever, it was not until 3 years ago when Cupertino considered investing in the country by opening their own stores and moving part of their production to the country.
