What’s the difference between Apple Store and Apple Premium Resellers?
You might be asking, but we already have plenty of Apple stores in Malaysia, what makes Apple Store so special? Shops like Machines, Switch, iTworld etc. are known as Apple Premium Resellers/ Authorised Resellers.
Firstly, it’s important to note that these resellers are not Apple itself; the company does not hold responsibility for these shops. These resellers are independent entities authorised by Apple to sell its products.
Secondly, these resellers offer different pricing and discount options than Apple Stores. Thirdly, Apple Store has a station called the “Genius Bar” where they offer on-site tech support for all Apple products.
