It’s fair to say that no other global company has got the treatment that Apple has got from Prime Minister Narendra Modi & Co. in India. The current regime is steadfast in its goal to ‘Make in India’, and who better than Apple to hold the flag for them? Which is why Apple gets first right on exception for locally sourcing materials from the country.
With its latest and cutting-edge tech, many hope that Apple can truly do itself justice in India, and cater to consumers in the typical Apple fashion.
Speaking on behalf of the eagerly awaiting Apple fanboys and fangirls in India, here’s what we’d really like the Apple Store to have:
Apple Stores and Not Resellers
Most Apple stores present in India are more like Apple resellers, which isn’t directly controlled by Apple. This is where Apple’s intent on entering retail in India gives us the chance to say, we’re done dealing with lousy resellers and would like Apple to set up its base with people that really know a thing or two about all the Apple devices.
We have seen pictures of giant stores built with glass on all corners, in countries like US, UK and even China. It’s time for India to be part of this elite list.
Give Us the Genius Bar
Most of us in India don’t know the difference between good service, and Apple service. All of this come down to the efforts of the Apple Genius Bar. Placed inside most of the big-size Apple stores across the globe, you get access to an experience that is worth travelling down for.
These Apple experts wearing blue tees know everything about all Apple products and will cater to all your needs, even the simplest ones. We need these people out here asap.
The Phone Covers and Watch Straps
This may not be interest to everyone, but most Apple users crave the original stuff, especially when they don’t mind spending big money on their gadgets.
Right now, the iPhone covers and other accessories are offered by third-party brands like Logitech or you end up buying covers from roadside sellers. But with authentic Apple Store, you’ll get the best of everything under the same roof. We also want that.
Get set for a rollicking experience with Apple Store, coming to city near you real soon.
