Apple has their stores there.

Apple has their NO stores there. There, fixed it. Actually Apple has no Apple owned stores in Saudi Arabia. The closest Apple OWNED Store is in the United Arab Emirates. From Apple's Store Search page by country:


There are some privately owned stores that sell Apple products among others purchased out of Europe.


EMS headquartered in the UAE, operates PixelParc, the largest Apple stores in Saudi Arabia.

Nice try. No banana.

You crack me up, Sword. I can understand being a fan of Apple. Like you I find their computers to be awesome. But you can’t assume every single time someone says something negative about Apple that it’s a “hate crime”.

That being said, I stand corrected regarding Apple stores in Saudi Arabia. I was trying to use my organic, non-ecc memory. After a quick Google search my memory was refreshed.

“Up until now, Apple has relied on third-party resellers across the region to market and maintain iPhones, iPads, Macs, and other Apple products. As still noted on Apple’s non-optimized website for Saudi Arabia, the Cupertino-based company currently operates in the region under its Cork, Ireland-based subsidiary named “Apple Distribution International.”

So Apple stores, no. Operating in Saudi Arabia? Yes. There “fixed it”.

Vote Trump 2016
