Apple versus the Russian government

A lot of multinationals had to show their colors last week: are you participating in the sanctions against Russia, or not? Apple has chosen to do this. For example, the company will stop selling products in President Putin’s country.

This means that the current stock of iPhones, Macs and Apple Watches will be sold, but not replenished. The cards of Apple Maps have also been tinkered with. From now on, for example, Crimea, the peninsula of Ukraine, will once again belong to President Zelenskyy’s country, rather than to Russia.
