Expanding the marketplace's footprint even further, Apple has launched its App Store in 32 new countries, including DR Congo, Ukraine, Mozambique, and Malawi.

The App Store is now available in a total of 155 countries, fulfilling the promise made by Apple CEO Tim Cook during his WWDC 2012 keynote.
