MELBOURNE: Australia's largest department store operator Myer will stop selling "unprofitable" Apple Inc products as part of its drive to focus on higher-margin items, Myer Holdings said on March 22. 

Apple Inc is facing weak demand for its iPhone, which has come under fire for being too expensive. Demand has notably fallen in the world's biggest smartphone market China, partly as a result of the trade dispute with the United States.
