Comment on Russia presses Apple to install Kremlin-approved apps

Comments

Does anyone know how much Russian iPhone says are worth to Apple?

Also interesting to know would be much the iPhone platform is worth to Russian app developers if they can no longer buy Apple hardware to test/develop against?

If both of these figures are small then it could well in Apple's interests to just abandon sales in Russia.

Since, from the article, this proposed law would only cover sale of new devices those really motivated would still be able to buy abroad.

iPhones are very expensive (new one costs more that average monthly salary), but very popular in Russia.
