Apple is bringing the App Store to 20 new countries later this year

Its hard to imagine using an iPad or iPhone without the App Store, but in a lot of countries around the world the iPhone is sold but the App Store isn’t available for some reason or another. This week, Apple announced that later this year, the App Store will be launching in twenty more countries.

Announced in a post on the Apple Developer portal this week, Apple addressed its developers saying that the App Store will be coming to more countries later this year and also that it has over half a billion visitors each week to the store.

“We’re pleased to announce that the App Store will expand even farther this year with upcoming support for 20 new countries, allowing you to increase your impact and grow your business in new markets.”
