Tariq Mansour, you mean Arab Computers. What does this have to do with it? This is an Apple maintenance center and it is true that it is a distributor, but it is the same as the rest of the big stores such as Extra Jarir, STC 1000, Nakheel Mall, and others that Apple relies on, meaning you can open them easily.
In general, since the day I bought the iPhone SE in 2020, it is written in the settings when you enter the warranty. The phones that I had before did not have something like this written on them. A branch in Saudi Arabia. What do they mean? The branch that they put in the settings in Saudi Arabia is
The primary warranty obligor for the region or country of purchase.

Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Apple Saudi Arabia Company
30th Floor, Al Faisaliah Tower, King Fahd Road, Al Olaya District
P.O. Box 54995, Riyadh 11524, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Generally, I remember once that I found the number for this place. I called, but no one answered. What do they mean by this place? Is it not Arab computers? Is it a branch? Or what?

    Hello Ali Hussein Al-Marfadi 🙋‍♂️, I understand your question about the warranty and branches in Saudi Arabia. Simply put, Apple Saudi Arabia Company is the company responsible for Apple device warranties in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and is a direct subsidiary of Apple. As for Arab Computers, it is an authorized distributor by Apple but is not part of Apple Saudi Arabia Company. Regarding the contact number, this number may be for the administrative headquarters and calls are not received through it. I hope this has answered your questions 🍏🙂.

Congratulations to the creators of technology content in the Arab world and the mother of the world
Unfortunately there is an error in the article.
The first two Apple stores are Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall, not Al Ain

    But we already mentioned this, there is nothing in the article that indicates the first store is Al Ain, the store never opened in the first place.

This store is a disservice to all repair shops in Al Ain.

Unfortunately, Tariq, you are defending Apple. The Saudi market is the strongest market for Apple in the Arab world and the Gulf.
If it weren't for the power and efficiency of the iPhone and its other products, I would have fought them.

    This is true, Apple will not open in Saudi Arabia, because you have a powerful company that will not allow this, which is Arab Computers. The matter is more political in Saudi Arabia. Personally, I do not expect Apple to head to the Saudi market soon.
    Saudi Arabia is the foundation of technology in the entire Arab world, the only country that has money and numbers. Other Arab countries may have money, but not numbers, and there may be numbers but no money. Saudi Arabia is the reason for the West’s interest in Arab technology in the first place.

Because the UAE supports the usurping, treacherous Zionist entity, that's why Apple is happy to open store after store, and not open in Saudi Arabia.

By God, it is really a strange thing. The problem is that you cannot order from the online store while you are in Saudi Arabia, and even the store’s services when you visit it in the Emirates are modest compared to the services in America and Canada. Whoever has tried both countries knows what I mean.

    Hi Mufleh 🙋‍♂️, Yes indeed, each country has its own unique experience with Apple services, and I understand very well what you mean. But we must mention that Apple is always striving to improve its services all over the world 🌍. And let's not forget that good things come to those who wait, so Saudi Arabia may witness a great Apple Store in the future as well! 🍏🏬🇸🇦

There are several reasons behind this impression.

Intense marketing: Apple may have focused its marketing efforts more in the UAE than in other Gulf countries.
Historical expansion: Apple may have started its expansion in the region from the UAE, giving the impression that it is more widespread there.
Media attention: The UAE media may have given more attention to the opening of Apple branches and covered them more widely.

Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 is supposed to be the first Gulf country to have a large camel market because it is the largest Arab country in the Gulf after Egypt 🇪🇬

Why is it so widespread in the Emirates and other Gulf countries? There is not a single store there. I am sure you know the reason.

    Hello Mohammed Al-Harasi 🙋‍♂️, As for the spread of Apple stores in the Emirates and the Gulf, this is due to several reasons, including the increasing demand for Apple products and the great confidence in their quality. In addition to Apple's own strategy to expand and reach the largest possible number of users. But this does not mean that the company is neglecting the rest of the markets, as it invests heavily in providing its services through the online store to ensure that its products reach those who do not have an Apple store in their country. 😊📱💻🌍

    Welcome Akram 😊 Don't worry, things take their time. Although Apple hasn't opened stores in Saudi Arabia yet, things may change in the future. The company is rapidly expanding its reach in the region, and Saudi Arabia is a large market that Apple's CEOs will not ignore 🍏👀 Keep hope and patience.. Until then, you can shop from other trusted sites! 😉🛍️
