Apple gadgets are also subject to a ban on the export of smartphones worth more than $ 300 to Russia and Belarus by the United States, but it is too early to talk about disabling the iPhone in the country. In an interview he gave to the newspaper about this, “News”said Kirill Sitnov, a specialist in computer hardware and gadgets, a teacher at the Moscow School of Programmers.
“Locking devices in a particular country is in itself a major blow to a company’s reputation. In addition, now Apple receives a large share of profits not from the sale of gadgets, but from the use of various paid subscription services – this is due to the company’s reporting, ”the company said.
The expert added that turning off the devices in the country leads to permanent loss of profits.
“If the company takes such a step, the main reason for this may only be the pressure of the state,” says the expert.
According to Sitnov, if the user has not yet decided which smartphone to buy, then gadgets from Chinese manufacturers should be preferred.
“From an economic point of view, this country is currently on the same side as Russia, so Chinese technology is not expected to be blocked,” said the expert.
