@kdfrawg Indeed. It's been puzzling me for years. Then again, it's pretty much only Apple that releases all their stuff around here.
Google has most (but not all) services here, although you won't find their hardware so easily. Microsoft has some online store that might work here, and a minuscule presence in retail when it comes to hardware. Samsung is everywhere. Amazon is unheard of to all except tech knowledgeable people.
