Reuters announced a possible ban on Apple smartphones for Russia

10

The United States authorities are considering the possibility of banning the export of American-made smartphones (it is obvious that we are talking primarily about Apple) and their components to Russia in connection with the expected "invasion" of Russian troops into the territory of Ukraine. It is assumed that these measures will become part of the wider sanctions that Washington will impose on Moscow in this case.

According to Reuters, the White House will soon discuss in detail export control measures designed to restrict Russian citizens' access to a range of Western products and of technologies.



Measures could limit Russia's ability to import smartphones, major aircraft and car components, and materials from many other sectors

- the agency notes.

Experts believe that some of these measures may be similar to those that the administration of the previous American president took in relation to the Chinese company Huawei, trying to deny it access to some semiconductors.

In addition, sanctions from the EU and the United States will affect energy and defense enterprises in Russia. Earlier it was reported about the likelihood of disconnecting Russian banks from the SWIFT payment system, which should significantly limit the development of economics RF. The West promises to take such measures in the event of an extreme aggravation of the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border.

      I haven’t used Apple since 2008, after I had remotely deleted the musical compositions I downloaded into the third model, not purchased by me, but downloaded from my computer. If they monitor the contents of my device from their office, then why do I need such a device?
      It is necessary to ban this abomination for a long time.

      But I've heard something else. Roskomnadzor demanded that Apple and 12 other major concerns (Google-Dachmarke Alphabet, Metas Facebook, Twitter, ByteDance ..) open official representative offices in Russia before the end of this year. In case of failure, their activities will be prohibited.
      Apple has already reacted in favor of the demand, having previously paid Roskomnadzor a $ 10 million fine.

      Personally, I support the policy of Roskomnadzor - it is high time for them to move to the maintenance of the state due to the imposed fines. It's time to show your teeth to these monopolists. And the imported Apple must be forced to open the code. On a droid, everything is clear and simple - you are your own master, you can block Google too. I have been living without Google for 5 years. The first Google-free smartphone - 4c skis. I deleted the bourgeois services myself. I have never regretted it.

      All these "stubs", as well as "Rolexes", "Gucci" and other "Porsche" and "Ferrari" are pure show-off. They did not fall to the ordinary Russian consumer. There are enough Samsung and Huawei and Xiaomi

      When will we be able to prohibit the supply to the United States of something such that they, from one fright, will go and drown themselves in the Great Lakes.
      Do they make smartphones?

      Not otherwise, as the Chinese advised to remove competitors from the Russian market.
