Apple stops sales in Russia and limits the App Store and Apple Pay
Miscellaneous / / March 01, 2022
All because of the situation in Ukraine.
Apple announced the termination of the sale of all its devices in Russia and the restriction of the work of branded services, including the App Store, Apple Pay and Maps. About it writes CNET, citing a letter from company representatives.
Shortly before that, the ability to order devices disappeared from the Apple website. Now the manufacturer has confirmed the complete cessation of equipment exports to its partners in Russia.
What exactly is meant by the limitations of Apple Pay is still unknown. At the time of the news release, online payment through this service with a Tinkoff card was still working. It is likely that the payment instrument will no longer support cards of banks that have fallen under sanctions.
The reason for all these decisions by Apple was the events in Ukraine.
We support humanitarian efforts, provide assistance in the wake of the unfolding refugee crisis and do our best to support our teams in the region.
