Hello! And again we write about Apple - this time the reason is very important, since everything described below is a serious step towards the development of high-quality services in Russia.

Apple today
announced the opening of the iTunes Store for Russian users. Russia is not the only country where the iTunes Store was officially opened today, only 56 new countries gained access to a music and film store.

A closed iTunes Event will also be held tonight in Moscow, Apple
is expected to officially announce the opening of the first and long-awaited Apple Store and, possibly, the Apple Online Store.
Naturally, the digital store opened for a reason - now Russian-speaking consumers of products provided by Apple and its partners can be closer to their favorite brand, because now we all have the opportunity to buy not only apps and games from the App Store, but also music and films. In the Russian segment of the iTunes Store, prices are very affordable (about 2 times cheaper than in foreign sections of the store) - I am glad that Apple is on the right and very pleasant path for us.
Detailed list of innovations:
- Music on the iTunes Store, the cost of one song starts at 15 rubles, which is good news, really good albums are cheap (about 150 rubles), which really makes even the inveterate “musical pirates” think: “Isn't it easier to buy and not to steam?” with a collection of music in the future? "
- Films on the iTunes Store, the cost of pictures varies - there are films for 69 rubles, and there are for 299. It is worth noting that renting films is also available - for example, a fantastic film with Surrogates starring Bruce Willis costs 129 rubles for purchases and 49 rubles for rent respectively. Conveniently! By the way, Russian tapes will also be available. It remains only to wait for the start of official sales of Apple TV in Russia.
- ITunes Store gift cards in denominations of 500, 1000, 1500, 3000 rubles - everything is clear here, a convenient way to give loved ones the opportunity to enjoy movies and music in good quality and legally.
- iTunes Match costs 799 rubles a year. If you don’t know what it is, we explain: iTunes Match is a music cloud service that allows you to store your entire music library in the iCloud cloud. In addition, iTunes Match will allow you to access all your music from any device where you have access to the Internet. The most important thing is that this service allows you to license all the music you have in your library if the tracks in it match the tracks in the iTunes Store database.
Honestly we tell you - our conclusions are positive: good service with good prices reached Russia. I want to believe that with these innovations there will be more consumers of licensed products. Another would be a cheaper iPhone in Russia, it will become quite good.
