Why South Korea is included in the iPhone 16 1st launch country
High iPhone loyalty
The iPhone 16’s radio wave certification information has not been released yet, but certification will definitely be completed before its release. The fact that Korea was chosen as the first country to launch iPhones shows Apple’s high interest in the Korean market. One of the reasons Apple chose Korea as the first country to launch is the high loyalty of Korean iPhone users. The majority of people in their 20s and 30s prefer iPhones, and the sales performance that sold out quickly every time was a very important factor for Apple.
Apple’s strategy for the Korean market
Apple, which already operates seven Apple stores in Korea and has invested a lot in the Korean market, shows that it considers the Korean market very important by choosing Korea as the first country to launch this time.
