Apple is reportedly set to open a 22,000 square foot store in Mumbai early this year. In January 2021, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the online store has received a tremendous response in the country, and the company was ready to launch retail stores in the country in the future.

"We are also going in there with retail stores in the future and so we look to that to be another great initiative, and we continue to develop the channel as well," Cook had said. The physical stores will certainly help Apple in giving a controlled experience of its devices and services as it intends and designed them to be in the country. (With inputs from IANS)
