Tim Cook announced the store in 2020
The launch of Apple Stores in India has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During Apple’s Annual Shareholders Meeting in 2020, CEO Tim Cook had said that he does not want anyone else to run the brand for us in India.
Apple’s plan to open stores in 2021 was derailed due to the Kovid epidemic. Apple is expanding its presence in India as it has become an important market for sales and manufacturing. Along with this, Indian customers are also showing an increasing trend towards premium products.
