Apple Share Price: Russian Online Store Opened

iNVEZZ.com Wednesday June 26th: Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) opened its online store in Russia today with customers in Moscow and St Petersburg now able to order all of the company’s products directly from the official website. This is yet another signal that iPhone maker is preparing to open its first brick and mortar stores in the country after it registered a new distribution arm almost a year ago.

Apple has been rapidly expanding its presence in emerging economies as growth of smartphone sales in Western markets is slowing down due to increased competition. With international sales now beating US sales, Apple should make sure that Russian first-time buyers on its online store return to upgrade their products when the company opens a brick and mortar store. The world’s ninth most populous country is likely to prove a good market for Apple, especially as Russian consumers are known to have a desire for luxury.
