What iMachines does

iMachines W.L.L is a privately held Bahraini company operating as Bahrain's first Apple Authorized Reseller and Service Provider since 2003. The company sells Apple's full hardware portfolio — Mac (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, MacBook Neo, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, Mac Pro), iPad (standard, Air, Pro, mini), iPhone (13 through 17 series), Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple TV, and displays — alongside third-party accessories (Anker, Belkin, Spigen, Tech21, Beats), gaming consoles and software (Microsoft, Adobe). Core activities are Apple-aligned hardware resale, official warranty and out-of-warranty repairs through certified technicians, a device trade-in program, and an Apple for Business enterprise program that includes Tamkeen Offers and AI for Business verticals.

The company runs an omnichannel retail model: an owned e-commerce storefront at imachines.bh with Bahrain-wide delivery and online-exclusive promotional pricing, combined with multiple physical retail locations across Bahrain. Customer segments are individual consumers (primary), business customers via Apple for Business, and education-sector buyers. Revenue is generated from one-time hardware and accessory sales at unit markups, professional services for repair, and trade-in transaction spreads. Pricing is set in Bahraini Dinar with a wide range from approximately 2 BHD for entry accessories to over 2,385 BHD for top-spec MacBook Pro M5 Max configurations.

iMachines is registered as a W.L.L entity in Bahrain, holds E-fada compliance, and is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or leadership public profile. The company is solely Bahrain-domiciled with no disclosed plans for geographic expansion beyond the Kingdom.

Direct peers

• CompuMe: Apple Authorized Reseller and Service Provider in the UAE. Directly comparable in product mix (Apple hardware, accessories, repairs) and regional GCC customer base, making it a strong peer despite the larger UAE market.
• iStyle: Apple Authorized Reseller and Service Provider operating in multiple GCC countries. Closely comparable business model — authorized Apple retail plus certified repairs — and competes for the same regional Apple customer base as iMachines.
• Switch (Apple Authorized Reseller, UAE): Authorized Apple reseller in the UAE offering the full Apple product range, accessories, and trade-in. Operates a similar omnichannel Apple-first retail model in a neighboring GCC market, making it a highly comparable peer.
• iStore (JD Group): Apple Premium Reseller and Authorized Service Provider operating across the Middle East and Africa. Directly comparable to iMachines as an authorized Apple retailer offering the full Mac/iPhone/iPad lineup, trade-in, repairs, and B2B services in regional markets.

Broad incumbents

• Emax: Large multi-category electronics and home appliance retailer in the UAE and broader Middle East. Comparable as a regional consumer electronics retail competitor but not specialized in Apple, carrying Samsung, Sony, and other major brands alongside Apple products.
• Sharaf DG: Major GCC electronics and appliance retail chain with broad multi-brand assortment. Comparable as a regional incumbent electronics retailer serving similar consumer and B2B segments, though not Apple-specialized.
• Jarir Bookstore: Leading Middle East retailer (headquartered in Saudi Arabia) selling electronics, computers, and accessories alongside books and office supplies. Comparable as a Gulf-region consumer electronics and computer retailer with physical retail and e-commerce presence, though much broader in scope.
• Best Buy: Global consumer electronics specialty retailer offering Apple products alongside many other brands. Comparable in being a consumer-focused omnichannel electronics retailer selling computers, tablets, phones, and accessories, though operating at vastly larger scale and not Apple-exclusive.
• Virgin Megastore Middle East: Multi-category consumer electronics and entertainment retailer in the UAE and Gulf region with physical and online presence. Comparable as a regional omnichannel consumer electronics retailer serving similar demographics, though with broader assortment including non-Apple brands.
• Amazon Middle East (Souq.com): Dominant online marketplace in the GCC competing directly with iMachines' e-commerce channel for Apple product sales. Comparable in product offering and consumer electronics retail but as a broad multi-category incumbent rather than a specialized Apple reseller.
