The store, named eDiGi, is the first authorised store to meet the standards of both Apple Premium Reseller (APR) and Apple Service Provider (ASP) in Viet Nam.

APR is a higher level than Apple Authorised Reseller (AAR), represented in Viet Nam by stores like FutureWorld and iCenter. Currently, only FPT’s F.Studio is at APR level.

Besides selling Apple products, eDiGi store will also be an authorised warranty centre. Users of genuine Apple products and some models purchased from other countries can also come here for warranty support.

According to statistics, the number of authorised Apple resellers in Viet Nam is only 15. Singapore has 527 and Thailand 480. FPT Retail and Mobile World currently account for 80 per cent of genuine Apple product sales in Viet Nam, with the rest coming from network operators and small retailers.
