Apple brings AppStore to 33 additional countries
July 23, 2011 : Nikhil Kumar
Apple has added 33 countries to the list of 90 countries from where users can download apps from app store. Apple monitors the locality of a user and if the user isn’t registered among list of countries that Apple’s app store supports, then the user is blocked from downloading the app from AppStore. So, the move to add more countries is definitely welcoming for users.
The total number of countries that the app store supports now stands at 123 countries. The 33 countries added to the list include Algeria, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bermuda, Bolivia, British Virgin Islands, Brunei, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Dominica, Ghana, Grenada, Guyana, Iceland, Montserrat, Nigeria, Oman, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and The Grenadines, Suriname, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, Uzbekistan and Yemen.
With popularity of iPhone getting momentum, it’s a wise move by Apple to support more countries. This is beneficial for Apple, as well as developers and users.
