As of right now, Apple has only allowed the App Store in Singapore, but not the full iTunes Music Store, which means that iPhone owners can buy apps but not music, movies, or books through Apple. This reason is rampant piracy throughout Asia.
What are the negative consequences of Apple’s decision? Write in ABC/PEEL format.
The negative consequences of Apple’s decision are that less people will support Apple, Apple will earn less money, and more piracy will occur.
Firstly, this will result in less people supporting Apple. This is because when Apple does not allow people to purchase their music, movies and etc., it gives people the impression that Apple does not trust them. This will cause people to lose faith in Apple, and less people will support Apple. One good example will be after an Acer computer incident similar to this, many people lost faith in Apple and less people supported Acer.
Secondly, Apple will earn less money. Since Apple does not allow people to purchase music and movies and books from its App Store, they will certainly earn less profit. Even the newspaper states that the world’s fastest digital market has been shut out.
Lastly, more piracy will occur. This is because people will find more ways to purchase the movies, music and books available only in the US App Store. This will lead to more piracy.
In conclusion, the negative consequences of Apple’s decision are that less people will support Apple, Apple will earn less money, and more piracy will occur.
