First Apple Store Opens Up In Afghanistan, More To Follow

Seems like the whole world is talking Apple and its products. With WWDC 2013 announced and scheduled for June '2013, Apple is reportedly showing interest in countries deprived of much needed technology innovations, including Afghanistan. Apple has finally opened up the first ever Apple Store in Afghanistan, as shown in the image below. The country has been demanding an Apple Store for ages now, and with the demand rising, you can already see fake Apple Stores opening up in China, as seen last year.


Well, finally Afghanistan gets hold over its first Apple Store, and it is being said that the owner is able to move a few laptops and iPhones here and there everyday. The store definitely lacks the glow and whistles of an Apple Store we can see in other places, but as long as its selling products, there are chances that many other stores will open up in Afghanistan in the near future.

Located in the country’s largest shopping mall in Kabul, the store gets its stock at retail cost from Dubai. That stock is then sold to Afghan residents wishing to get in on the Apple goodness at just above US retail cost, which means enough profit for the store to trade. Though the Apple products don't come cheap there as well, the owner has made sure that all Apple products are available at the store. I am glad that Afghanistan finally has its own Apple store.
