I’m really surprised there’s no Apple Store at least in Dublin, especially given that Apple has their European HQ in Ireland.
Hmm… I dreamed last night that the store I used to work at (Greenville SC) was part of two new stores opening. I can’t remember one of them but the other was going to be called west Greenville.
Perhaps I’m a prophet… or been reading too many rumors this week.

Don’t forget that Apple has been based in Ireland since 1980, has had an Apple-owned manufacturing business there since then and currently employs over 6,000 people in Ireland.
Not exactly like the Cayman Islands!
Probably a lot of lack of communication, wrong moves, and no real interests to reach an agreement.
It was also a political shift in Stockholm City during this time that can explain some too.
Article says fourth one is planned for April 2024 in Solna (Mall of Scandinavia).
And they have to - bec they lost many, many customers in russia...
Ok, guess that was behind the paywall of that article, as I didn't read that.
Good for folks in Solna, outside of Stockholm, who soon can roll in and get their Apple stuff directly.
But still nothing on the west coast of Sweden, and everybody know that we are the front side of Sweden.
Yep, Best Buy is technically an AASP for some things, but I’d rather drive to Keystone or Mishawaka than deal with them. This is an instance where the old mini store concept would be perfect!Fort Wayne, Indiana, please, so I can stop driving 200 mile/4 hour round trips to get Macs fixedThere's also no authorized service provider here.
I’d guess there’s a lot of mid-sized cities that are underserved, but Fort Wayne seems extra weird that there’s basically 3 or 4 stores all 2 hours away in each direction.
Cincinnati has been struggling with just one.
I think some may not realize that getting an Apple store in your country is not so much about the shopping experience but catching up with the rest of the world when it comes to easy exchanges and warranty etc
Without an official store often there are no returns in 14 days if you are not satisfied with your purchase unless its a lemon, for example
Authorized resellers often do not accept returns or repairs so your left with mail-in to Apple
So thumbs up for Malaysia, about time

Apple could make a VR store accessed only with the goggles.
I was in Crakow 2 weeks ago and then the Tatra Mountains, I was amazed how many people had iPhones, compared to 3 years ago.Nearest to Cracow (Kraków) is 465km in Austria 🇦🇹. And we have 0 number of Apple Stores in Poland, because why not.
So I share your pain
Authorized Resellers are good but it’s not the same feeling like being in real Apple Store.
It made me quietly pleased, that a lot of my country men & women have seen the light and are moving away from cheap & limited Android phones.
It would be nice to see at least 1 Apple Store to open in Poland, however a bigger priority should be Siri in Polish!
Detroit has many problems to sort out, before big business returns IMO 😏
The Glendale Galleria (R001) store is still Apple's first ever retail location. Tyson's Corner (R010) was the first to open because of the time zone difference.
"Apple recently redid Apple Tysons Corner in Virginia, introducing a total overhaul of its first-ever Apple retail location."
I am in NZ, Australia is my nearest store.... but who cares.
Under NZ consumer law, I take it back to where I bought it from and it is their problem to sort out, not mine
And the consumer law gives us "reasonable expectations of life" which is 3-5 years for a computer, so no need to buy extended warranties either. I have had my sons 3 1/2 year old MacBook repaired some years back for free.
The population of Sweden is slightly less than twice the population of Finland. Sweden has 3 Apple Stores with a 4th on the way. How many Apple Stores in Finland? Zero...none...0. So your complaints are falling on deaf ears over here.
Not exactly, indeed. Didn’t know this but now I wonder even more why so few Apple Stores.
Thank you ☹️Just checked and nothing, sorry
FYI, this Apple Store, the only one in Austria, is always overrun. Shopping there is not a nice experience because wait times are very long. If you have a problem with your Apple device don’t even think of showing up without an appointment. Because of this situation, lots of things are not in stock (e.g. they couldn’t replace my Pencil, I had to come in again two days later). Whenever possible I avoid the Store and get any transactions done online.Nearest to Cracow (Kraków) is 465km in Austria 🇦🇹. And we have 0 number of Apple Stores in Poland, because why not.

At least you have some - in Denmark we still have 0 (zero)!
