Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), don't sell iPhone 6S in its stores in 4 countries around the globe, those from Cupertino trying to prevent the forerunners from taking advantage of the fact that its terminals will not be launched in certain areas around the globe.
More specifically, Apple will not sell iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus directly in Apple Stores in China, Japan and Hong Kong on September 25, but not even 4 US states will sell the two new terminals to the people who will stand in line in front of them to buy them.
Instead, in these 4 countries, with the strict limits for the USA, Apple will sell iPhone 6S si 6S iPhone Plus only to those who have made a reservation to buy the devices in advance, those who have not made one having only the option to buy the terminals online with delivery from September 29.
Oregon, Delaware, New Hampshire and Alaska are the American states where iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus will not be sold directly to people who will form queues in front of Apple Stores and considering that the reservation for the purchase on September 25 has become impossible, no one will be able to buy the terminals there.
Because Apple limits the number of unlocked phones, the brokers - sometimes called "sharks" - recruit homeless people and the elderly to wait in line and buy phones on their behalf. The phenomenon lasted for months outside Apple's downtown Portland Apple Store after last year's September launch of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
While sharks patrol Apple stores all over the country, they are especially visible in Portland. That may be because Oregon doesn't have a sales tax, so sharks operating here can add several percentage points to their profits by getting their phones.
Every year the Apple company has very big problems with the bigots who pay street people or poor people to sleep in bags in front of the Apple Stores to buy the new iPhone terminals and Apple takes a very small step to stop such practices.
By blocking direct sales in China, Japan and Hong Kong, Apple is dealing a strong blow to businesses, but only if it does the same in New York will it be able to stop the phenomenon criticized by so many people, in front of the Fifth Avenue store always gathering the several people paid to stand in line.
Having said that, if on September 25 you are in one of the locations mentioned in the article and you do not have a reservation to buy the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, then you should know that you will not be able to do it directly from the store that day , but not in the following ones either.
