Apple single-brand stores in Russia began to sell products from other manufacturers. About statement “News”.
So, Dyson vacuum cleaners, Yandex smart speakers, massagers and Bork lamps, PlayStation 5 game consoles, computer chairs and prams appeared on the re:Store. iPort, another Apple vendor, has started selling action cameras, DJI and PlayStation drones. Yandex’s smart speakers also appeared in Samsung single-brand stores.
It is also noted that before the end of deliveries to the Russian Federation in March of this year, Apple banned the sale of “smart” speakers to its partners. It is assumed that this is due to the fact that the people of Cupertino have their own HomePod columns, which were never officially imported into Russia.
The reason why single-brand stores are starting to expand their product line, which is not in favor of Apple, is because official supplies have stopped and demand has fallen. At the same time, it turned out that it is unprofitable to sell only Apple equipment in the current conditions, since deliveries through parallel imports can be unpredictable.
