Don't forget the USA is a large country. They don't have complete coverage here, either. Some states have a lot of stores, others have only one or a few. Even states that have decent coverage often have insane traffic congestion. Travel to an actual store location can be a once a year thing for many Americans, too.Kind of depressing that even very developed and rich EU countries like Belgium are just now getting their first Apple store. Makes me pessimistic if I'll ever see official Apple presence in my small country.![]()
I wonder how often the Apple design aesthetic clashes with local architecture. It's not so hard for them to build ultra modern glass and steel monstrosities here but what happens when they want to build in a beautiful old European city with elegant old style architecture? I know I may be in the minority with my love for old buildings but I'd hate to see an old city with unique character not found anywhere else suddenly sprouting a huge modern splinter.
