三個蘋果在香港 3 Apples in HK

Apple公司第100間Apple Store如無意外會座落係IFC2，聽講24/9就開幕，唔知有冇高層會黎剪綵呢？如果SJ黎，我都有興趣一睹佢嘅風采。香港係購物天堂，又冇消售稅，有Apple Store 係遲早嘅事，但今次傳聞話會有3間添！香港真係受教主寵幸啊！另外兩間相信會分別座落係CWB嘅Hysan Place同埋TST廣東道嘅彩星大廈，彩星係三間之中唯一一間由地鋪開始總共三層有成二萬呎，租金每月千一萬，好似話簽咗十年租約！真係比足臉！呢d消費旺區老闆們真多得蘋果唔少，扯高哂d租金！Apple佢地睇到同胞嘅消費力驚人，加上港元貶值，又唔打稅，落黎買野等如打8折，真着數，三間Apple Stores絕對受得起冇問題啦！反而做緊蘋果的專賣店到時會點呢？香港咁細都有3間Apple Store，會唔會意味着香港會同美國同步推出新產品呢？須然我唔係Apple嘅die hard fans，但係有國際大公司咁比面香港係好事嘅。傳聞十月中推出嘅iPhone5，會唔會令IFC2出現人龍呢？有咗3間Apple Store，希望Apple認真攪好d維修服務啦，用家d投訴聽唔少。仲有，聽講佢地呢幾個月正密密招聘人手，人工比一般Sales高(傳言$200/hr.)，但要求亦相當高，第一條件一定要係虔誠嘅蘋果信徙，有好嘅溝通技巧，親切嘅笑容同流利嘅兩文三語唔少得。
