The ONLY Official Apple Store in the Korean Peninsula which is On-Line : had a slight-discount event the Year before and last Lunar New Years which included iPad 4, Mini and Mac Pro where the latter was discounted W132,000 but excluded newly-released models . those that were discounted was about -9% and included accessories like cases .
and trying to follow the North-American shopping tradition of Black Friday it is naming this Year Red Friday, to be applied to purchase on selective products 24-hours coming Friday January 10th 2014 . *and in concern to recent buyers cancelling or returning their purchase to take advantage of this this day’s SALE : they seem to be offering partial refund on already-purchased items .
:
currently The Official Korean Apple On-Line Store offers almost-unconditional Refunds for TWO Weeks (14 Days : used to be 30 until a Year ago) and accepts Exchanges until a Month (30 Days) from purchase date .
please direct inquiries to their local On-Line Site which is Apple followed by co.kr although you will barely get any more information than above ..
:
still note the cheapest way to buy an iPad currently is in neighboring Japan – even though it is excluded from Asian countries expecting this discount event – due its falling Yen currency WITH detax applied to visiting foreigners if you have travel plans .
other Asian countries expecting Red Friday event are Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singpore and Thailand .

[ ACTUAL SALE BEGAN ] around 2:30am Friday January 10th 2014 . local papers herald this as a once-a-year chance but Apple fan-base reactions are cold over the Korean Peninsula : as discounts aren’t as much as expected however welcome they are discounting even newly-released models this Year.

may be a good time to buy iPhone or iPad accessories – some of which are on SALE too – like a couple of different length Lightning USB Cables : 0.5 or 2 instead of the usual 1m.included in retail packages . other-wise : instead a Happy Week-end trip across the Channel South to the Japans – whose Yen currency has fallen for you – would be much more price-conscious while early rumours are being leaked about thinner iPhones to come at the end of next Semester . ofcourse competing SamSung’s own SALE expected follow ..
