Japan loves Apple, sales up there 39%
- helveticaman 18y agoI think this is because Japanese consumers are very concerned with quality, and Apple makes good products. This is unusual for American products because a lot of them are a waste of space (cars, clothes, manufactured goods in general) and poorly made (by Japanese standards). Japanese only buy them before there's a reasonable European or Asian substitute. Apple, on the other hand, hasn't made shitty products since the MBA left.
- fub4r 18y agoUsed to be that both Japanese and Koreans preferred their products with complex feature sets - Apple are notable for what they leave out - perhaps this signals a change of heart for Japanese consumers?
- alecco 18y ago39% up from what % of market? Hmmm.
