«Apple comes to us, Apple comes to us, Apple comes to us... now officially!" - and let me be condemned for some readers so paltry home news, but altered the words of festive songs at an opportune fit the mood today evening.
Actually, we are talking about the last report of the Western authoritative edition TechCrunch, Which was published just days ago. With reference to the letter to Irina Efremova, an employee of the Russian subsidiary of Apple PR, editor Ingrid Lyungden reports that tomorrow (fourth day of December) Red Square, GUM in Moscow will be a closed Apple event, to be attended by representatives from the development team iTunes.
Taking into account the huge number of rumors about the imminent opening of iTunes Store content store in Russia, hardly anyone still doubts that tomorrow's conference will be devoted to the presentation of this particular service. Earlier it was reported that Russia visited Eddy Cue, iTunes is responsible for development, as well as Ben E. King, director of the European division of service.
guys from iPhones.ru I managed to get a photo Russian gift cards (Gift Card). Such cards can be used in the App Store and iTunes Store to purchase any content.
Separately, it is worth noting that the estimated price in the Russian iTunes Store is much lower than in the US. A musical composition will cost 15 rubles. ($ 0.47 versus $ 0.99 in the US), and the whole album in 99 rubles. (About $ 3.12 versus $ 6,99- $ 14.99 in the US).
In fact, the fact that the case has moved forward is pretty much for the relationship between the largest technology corporations and our vast country. My colleague Igor Yaschenko in a recent post on possible launch iTunes Store in Russia accurately and succinctly described the situation:
Such a move on the part of Apple shows the one nice thing - Russia in the eyes of the American giant ceases to be in the top piracy and is regarded as a target market that can mean the possible opening so long expected Apple Store in major cities Russia.
Let some of bloggers rather svoebrazny relate to a possible opening of the Apple Store official stores in the cities of Russia, I do not share this skepticism. Follow the news, tomorrow promises to be interesting!
