In a "maximum" gesture of arrogance, the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), will open an Apple Store in the vicinity of the headquarters on December 30 Samsung from South Korea. This will be the first Apple Store in the country for the American company, and the proximity to the Samsung headquarters is just a new attempt to "sting" the Korean rival, with which it collaborates.
The arrangement of the Apple store is almost complete, as expected, so it only remains for it to be officially opened by the Americans, to the surprise of those from Samsung. The first Apple Store in South Korea will be opened on December 30 in Gangnam, the neighborhood made famous by the well-known song Gangnam Style.
The Apple store in South Korea has 1300 square meters and including the staff has already been hired by the Apple company, so everything is ready for the opening. Although South Korea has smartphone sales dominated by Samsung and LG at the moment, those from Apple still register a very strong presence in the market.
No one knows why Apple waited so long to open an Apple Store, but setting it up near the Samsung headquarters is a very clear message for Koreans. It will be interesting to see how well those from Samsung will understand this message and what impact it will have, the Apple company being quite serious in its transmission.
““We have finished all the major interior decorations of the Apple Store and left only a simple task,” he said […] Apple has decided to open the Apple store Seoul Gangnam store (first store) on Saturday, December 30, in consultation with the construction company. Unless there are special problems at the final stage of the construction, it will open from 10 am to 11 am on the day.”
