Great, finally Czech Republic has an Apple Online Store. Now just give me the iTunes Music and Video Store, the iBookstore, Photo Book printing, GarageBand lesson purchase, etc., and it will be magnificent :) Hope Apple Online Store today is just a start.

Are the prices better? When Apple launched here in NZ a few years ago, there were immediate price drops across the board :)
The confetti was made to look like real hole-punches. Cute. :D
Interesting how the colors are different but the arrangement of confetti is identical in each graphic. ...And how each country has at least red and white included in their national colors.
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
