Don't bend: Fighting nation boycotts iPhone 6

Editor’s Note:

Compared with the enthusiasm of Central Asia for iPhone 6, the fighting nation seems not to like Apple very much. Compared with expensive Apple, relatively cheap Huawei and Lenovo seem to be more popular among the fighting nation. Due to the sanctions of Europe and the United States, the price of Russian currency against the US dollar continues to fall, and expensive Apple seems to be even less popular among the fighting nation.

Besides, how can such a crooked Apple withstand the ravages of the fighting nation? Moreover, the sales in Russia are insignificant to Apple. If Russia bans the purchase, Apple can proudly announce that it bans the sale. There is always a vague feeling that domestic mobile phones will fight in Russia. At that time, can the news say that a certain domestic brand has surpassed Apple in sales in Russia?

This is a piece of news that has not been confirmed by mainstream international media, and the source is a local Russian news website. The Russian government requires Apple to move the iCloud server to Russia before January 1, 2015, otherwise it will ban the sale of Apple devices equipped with iCloud, including iPads and iPhones.
Russia passed a legal law in July this year, requiring all Internet companies that collect information about Russian citizens to store the data in Russia, which came into effect on September 1, 2016. But for Apple, the date was moved forward to January 2015. There was speculation that Cook's coming out was the reason, and a monument to Jobs in St. Petersburg was demolished yesterday.
It will be very difficult for Apple to migrate iCloud servers to Russia in the next two months. Although Apple has localized its servers in China, China is the second largest market that Apple relies on, and Apple's sales in the Russian market are insignificant. Therefore, Apple devices are likely to be banned from sale in Russia by January next year.
