The first official Apple store in Malaysia, located at The Exchange TRX, finally has an opening date: June 22
Apple lovers, mark your calendars. The tech titan has officially announced the grand opening of Malaysia’s first Apple Store, set for June 22 at The Exchange TRX mall in Kuala Lumpur. This highly anticipated addition will be the sixth Apple Store in Southeast Asia, joining three in Singapore and two in Thailand.
While Apple Premium Resellers (APRs) like Machines and Switch offer official products and similar pricing, the Apple Store provides a uniquely immersive experience that sets it apart. Visitors who have experienced Apple Stores abroad, whether in Thailand or elsewhere, will recognise the signature blend of sleek design, innovative services, and a seamless fusion of technology and lifestyle.

Official Apple Stores are typically larger than APRs, offering a wider range of products for users to experience firsthand. They also feature unique sections and activities, such as free learning sessions conducted by Apple experts known as Creatives. These sessions cover a variety of topics, from photography to art and design and even coding.
