Page 2 of 2

What has changed? Why does Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) believe they can have more success in Indonesia this time around? Here is some more information from The Next Web:

“Interestingly, it’s not the first time Apple has operated an online store in Indonesia. Apple began selling online between 2008 and 2010, but the company shut it down over shipping irregularities which began showing in November 2010. Around three months later, Apple suspended operations but kept the site online to promote products and indicate pricing (as well as a way to direct customers to authorized resellers). However, in almost all cases, the prices listed on the site ended up being much lower than actual prices on reseller stores.”

What are your thoughts on Apple reentering this market? Is it a good move that will pay off in the long run?
