Russian consumers will be able to buy the newly unveiled iPhone 14 in Russia despite Apple’s exit from the market over the invasion of Ukraine, a government minister said Thursday.
“If consumers want to buy these phones, you’re welcome. They will have that chance,” Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov told state-run RIA Novosti news agency.
Apple halted all product sales in Russia after the country invaded Ukraine in February.
But Apple smartphones continued flowing into Russia via the Russian government’s sanctions-busting “parallel imports” scheme in which goods are re-exported to Russia without permission from the trademark owner.
