Next Byte stories
Next Byte grew from a local Adelaide shop in 1995 to Australia's largest Apple reseller, but closed by 2016 as Apple's own stores took precedence.
Buzzle, formed as Apple's largest Australian reseller in 2000, collapsed within six months amid the dot‑com bust, sparking a precedent‑setting legal battle with Apple.
Vita Group will close its eight remaining Next Byte retail stores by March next year, with staff to be redeployed within Vita or retrenched.
