Apple fans in Mexico, Chile, Peru and Argentina will soon have the ability to purchase their next iPhone straight from an Apple store, according to a report by MacRumors.
An unnamed source provided this picture of an internal posting for jobs in Mexico to backs up the claims. However, Apple has yet to verify the expansion rumors.
The first stop for the reported Latin American expansion is Centro Santa Fe, the largest mall in the region with Mexico City being stop number two. The Mexico City Apple Store, which is expected to be one of 25 flagship stores in the world, is expected to take its design cues from the new-look stores in Dubai and Brussels.
The California device maker is also expected to open stores in Guadalajara and Monterey, Mexico in addition to stores in Chile, Peru and Argentina as the expansion continues.Â
These will not be the first Apple stores in the region. Currently Brazil is home to two, with one in Rio de Janeiro and the other São Paulo.
A study from June, 2015 found that Apple is making strides in Latin America. The report from Counterpoint Research found that the overall smartphone market in the region grew 25% year-over-year with Apple doubling its stake of the market from 5% to more than a 10% stake.
