Mexicans will get an iTunes Store to match the iPhone for a launch next month, according to one report. Also, the same may be true for Brazil; Apple may be close to securing its Wall Street store; and Apple has taken the wraps from its Boston store.

iPhone, iTunes said to launch in tandem for Mexico

Mexico will receive more from Apple than just the iPhone this year, says a new report from Mundo Mac.

Officials in Apple Mexico's office as well as its Spanish-language Miami call center allegedly claim that the iTunes Store for Mexico will launch alongside the iPhone in June and will be accompanied by support for purchasing prints and books through iPhoto.

The iTunes service is said to be all but necessary for the iPhone's launch in the Central American country, as the phone's activation is normally tied to its owner's iTunes account.

An Apple retail store in Monterrey is also rumored to launch at the same time.

While no confirmations of Apple's plans are expected until June 9th at the earliest, the electronics giant has been particularly active in Mexico, opening its online store for the nation late last year.
