LG has changed its mind about selling Apple gadgets in its stores. Until…

After LG's mobile division closed, the company realized that its stores should not be empty.

and decided to sell Apple products - smartphones,tablets, smart watches, etc. We were talking about the Best Shop chain of stores in South Korea, which has about 400 outlets. But something went wrong, and LG changed its mind.

Why?

In fact, there are several reasons for this.First of all, small and medium-sized businesses, which are already suffering from giants like Samsung and LG, rebelled. Large retail outlets can attract customers and distract them from smaller stores that are already going through difficult times due to the pandemic.

Another South Korean also expressed dissatisfactionthe giant is Samsung. The company was outraged by LG's decision to sell the iPhone in its stores and demanded that it either sell its smartphones as well, or abandon this idea altogether.

There is also an opinion that smartphone salesimpact sales of home appliances (especially those that have smart features tied to a specific platform), so the loss of phone sales could hurt other businesses, which should worry both LG and Samsung.

In addition, according to rumors, disagreements aroseand between Apple and LG themselves. LG wanted to sell Apple gadgets in all its major stores, but Apple insisted on only half (about 200) because other places did not meet its requirements.

So LG has stopped training its employees who were preparing to sell Apple products, but calls the suspension temporary.
