Kremlin asks Russian officials to stop using iPhones
By MYBRANDBOOK
Ahead of Russia's 2024 presidential election, the Kremlin has told officials to stop using iPhones. The Kremlin's direction comes amid concerns that the devices of the American tech major may be vulnerable to Western intelligence agencies.
Sergei Kiriyenko, first deputy head of the presidential administration, gave the directive to officials involved in domestic politics during a seminar in Moscow earlier this month. The deputy head asked officials involved in domestic politics to change their phones by April 1, implying that these smartphones should not be used for official business.
They were instead asked to replace their iPhones with phones built on other smartphone software, such as Android, Chinese counterparts, or Aurora, an operating system developed by the Russian company Open Mobile Platform.
Shortly after Russian forces invaded Ukraine in February last year, Apple suspended the sale of its products, including the iPhone in the country. However, a few months later, reports said people in Russia were still purchasing the new iPhone 14 through legalized parallel imports programs.
