Why there is no Apple Store in Singapore

I am from Singapore and for years I was question the same one: why there is no Apple Store in Singapore but only Apple Resellers here? Apple Store surely provide better customer service that the resellers, at least I won't go to find where to get my iPhone repaired if it was broken down, all things will be settled in Apple Store. Singapore is a fast-developed country, there is no reason that Apple won't get another Apple Store opened here, as there are few have already opened in China, Hongkong and Japan.

While we humble mortals can only attempt to divine the designs of the Apple Gods, we can hazard to think that a Singapore store has not been deemed viable due to insufficent sales volume, legal difficulties or prior arrangements with the local resellers. Given that they are snazzy glass and metal studies in minimalism, the cost of establishing one must be sizable.

Why there's no Apple Store in Portugal?

We could see one open! It makes no sense to have like 10 in Spain and none in Portugal!

Unfortunately we are users just like you and have no idea and speculations are not allowed here, sorry.

Why in Russia there is no apple store

Dear Apple Im Masych Matvey from Russia ( im son Irina Masych). Why in Russia there is no apple store ? I have iPod touch 4G this great product .
I would like to buy The New iPad, but in Russia there is no Apple Store, and in Russian stores it costs $ 2,000! Please open the Apple Store in Russia in Novosibirsk. By the way in Novosibirsk will soon be a monument to Steve Jobs. Sorry for the mistakes I do not know much English.

Klaus I know about resellers, but the thing is where the price of $ 2000 (I went there for a cover for the Ipod) I am interested in it because of the official Apple Store prices, at least in Moscow. In the U.S., I can not go.

My iPhone 5 is eligable for battery replacement but there is no Apple Stores in my country. Any advices what should I do?

Hello, I live in Montenegro and I bought used iPhone 5 off ebay few months ago. Phone is sim free but I notice really poor battery life. I have to charge it twice a day! Before 5 I used iPhone 4 and I had to charge every night but I could use the phone all day and I was fine with that. I checked and my iPhone is eligable for battery replacement program but there are no Apple Stores in Montenegro. There is T-Mobile which sells iPhones but I didn't buy mine over there. Is there a way for me to take advantage of this program? Can I get Apple to send me new battery and I will have local repair shops (which are very good) to replace the battery? I am ready to take full responsibility for that. If that is not an option could I visit apple store in US (example) and change my battery there for free, given that it is not bought over there?

This is how you get Service in your Country
The iPhone support site has troubleshooting articles to help you solve your iPhone issue on your own. If you have reviewed those articles and still need service for your iPhone, you can contact your carrier.Note: There may be a fee for diagnostic service. Please do not send any accessories with your iPhone because they will not be returned to you.
However the iPhone could have come from anywhere in the world since you purchased secondhand from eBay
You are correct T-Mobile will not touch the iPhone .
If you check the model number in settings>>>general>>>about >>>Model
if you google that number you will find out where the iPhone originated .If an EU country then you would be eligible for assistance in any other EU country
if not then which ever country comes up is the only source of help
This version of the link above is a European version maybe more relevant

HT201270 I have followed the instructions provided in this article but none of them worked. I even tried getting a new sim, still my phone network goes no service most of the time. There is no apple store in Philippines and I feel so helpless.

I live in the Philippines but my iPhone 4S was bought from Korea. There is no Apple store in my place and no one can help me fix my problem with my iPhone. I don't think Apple would replace my phone either despite the fact that it's still under warranty.
My phone would normally go on "No Service" status since I updated to iOS 5.1, so I am not able to make/receive phone calls/messages most of the time. It's really frustrating especially because my iPhone is just 3 months old.
Can anyone help me with my problem?
- I have restored my iPhone's OS and didn't do any back up
- Did reset network, reset all settings, among other resets available in my phone
- Used a new sim card from my network provider
- Used sim card from other network provider (since my phone is factory unlocked)
All the abovementioned didn't work and I'm getting really frustrated.I never had this problem when I was using iPhone 4.
Help me, please.

Sounds like it's hardware issue. The iPhone warranty is based in the original country of purchase. Since it was bought in Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in Korea to be taken in and then they will have to ship it back to you. The cost of shipping will be at your expense.

Why isn't the Apple store working?

Why isn't the Apple store working? I wanted to buy a iPad but I can't because the store isn't working. When will the store start working?

Apple is in the midst of announcing new products and they normally take the Apple Store offline while a keynote is in progress. The Apple Store will be back up when the keynote is over. Try back in about a half an hour or so.
Regards.

Take it to an authorized service center or Apple Store in the country where the phone originated. Apple does not sell iPhones in Pakistan, nor will they ship them to Pakistan.

You can only obtain warranty OR post warranty service in the country of original purchase
As your iPhone has user damage it has no warranty
IF the iPhone originated from Spain or another EU country you can get out of warranty service in any EU country

My iPhone overheats. Battery drops from 100/90% to 10% sudenly. Got the device 20 days ago. I'm currently living in The Hague, there is no Apple Store in this city, took an appointment in Amsterdam, after 3 hours drive and 60€ travel cost got into the Apple Store, 73 minutes delay on my appointment the Genius tech tells me I should leave my device for further checks in the store and come back in a week or two. Not presicely the answer I was looking for, plus he did not have any device to lend me until my iPhone was checked. Quite dissapointed, Apple was standard for quality on customer satisfaction, in the last 10 years I bought 3 MacBooks, 5 iPdas, 7 iPods, 5 iPhones and 2 iMACs... please don't let me down. [email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]

Dear Ocean, one is a complaint about the quality of the device.
The second about the quality on response from Customer Service.
No worries, I'll delete both post since it seems that won't bring anything productive.
Good bye Apple!

How does AppleCare work if there are no Apple stores in the area?

Asking this for my mother who just purchased an iPhone 6 based on my suggestion that it was the easiest to learn coming from a flip phone.
She leaves in Ocala, FL and there are no Apple retail stores in the vicinity. When I looked up for 'authorized repair locations' the closest was over 45 minutes away in Gainesville, FL. Is there a way to purchase AppleCare+ and have local support within the greater Ocala, FL area... via Best Buy (where we got the phone), Verizon Wireless (our service) or any other repair services? Otherwise I may need to consider SquareTrade. Verizon and Best Buy insurance is very expensive for a 2 year plan.
I just want something where she will not be without a phone for days if it needs to be repaired.
Thanks for your reply,
Don

Another thing to consider. Square Trade, and the insurance you are talking about are different than Apple Care +. Apple Care + is an extension of the manufacturer's warranty. Square Trade and the Verizon and Best Buy insurance are just that, to cover the device if lost or stolen. That does not cover warranty work. Only Apple warranties the device. You are actually lucky there is an Apple Store that close. My closest one is 2 hours away. Others are less fortunate than that. But, as rbrylawski indicated, you can call Apple Care and ship the device to Apple for warranty service if necessary. The easiest way to prevent her from being without a phone is to take it to the store, but you can also ask for Apple Care to ship a phone to her before she sends hers back, but that requires a credit card and they put a hold for the cost of the phone until they receive the phone back.

The warranty is only valid in the country where you bought the phone. To get it serviced by Apple, you'll have to bring it back personally, Apple does not ship internationally.
If you can't bring it back to Apple in Canada, your only other chance is to search for a 3rd party repair shop. An Authorized Apple Service Provider in your country will not service the phone, sorry.
