Apple does not have so-called specialty stores. The specialty stores we see are counters opened by merchants themselves. The reason why they mark specialty stores is just to increase their influence. As long as you have enough supply of Apple mobile phones, you can It can be opened!
To sum up: Apple has just stopped issuing authorization numbers. The small Apple stores in Digital City all decorate and pick up the goods themselves! No authorization is required to open it now, just pick it up and sell it after decoration!
As for the authorization issue that many people ask, in fact, this problem does not exist at all in second- and third-tier cities in the mainland. There are so many Apple stores in places like Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, etc., 95 are all unauthorized and open the same way. Apple will not check them at all. What Apple does check are counterfeiting Apple and using the APPLE trademark without permission. products.
