Two new iStores open

Apple expands its South African retail footprint with two new iStores

 

[bwana]

Sorry but it should read "Core expands its South African retail footprint with two new iStores". Core ≠ Apple.

 

[ToxicBunny]

I disagree bwana.

It should read

"Core expands its ripoff imitation of the iStore in South Africa"

100 Rond says iStore Sandton City will be where CAB used to be?

-I love the smell of competition in the morning... oh wait. nevermind.

Dear Apple (and Core)

Now how about allowing us to purchase digital media online? So many iPods out there...

Sincerely,
Apple Consumer

You might want to cc that to the local equivalent of the RIAA - they're usually the stumbling block with things like this. I have no doubt that Apple would love to sell you music etc.

Maybe I'm having a stroke but I am pretty sure there has been an iStore at Canal Walk for the better part of a year already.

Yup, a little one right in the middle.

 

[phiber]

Just a quick question. Are they going to keep the store on 1 sandton drive open as well as open on in Sandton City? That would be quite redundant since they are across the road from each other.

 

[DeonS]

Pardon my ignorance - what is the RIAA?

 

[GreGorGy]

RIAA = Recording Industry Assoc of America
local equiv = SAMRO = South African Music Rights Organ

That was a little kiosk near the food court. That's closed down now and they've moved into an actual store.

I Went to look at the istore last night what a let down it looked like a Little budget shop please someone KICK CORE out of the country, if they want to sell Apple products they must PLEASE hold up the Apple standards or give it to some one else that wont rip us off and is not afraid to spend the money to showcase Apple products in a worthy Manner as befits the image of Apple.
