Apple came to Russia relatively late (near iPhone 4, I think). People did buy lots of iPhones before that anyway. They would just buy in the USA and have it delivered via post (sometimes unofficial post). And Apple understands that.
I don't have any data on China and India. They might be more lucrative markets due to the size.
- csydas 11y agoI don't think there are official Apple Stores in Russia, just retailers that carry the products. All the stores I see selling Mac stuff are usually under the name re:Store [1] and while they have certainly imp'd the Apple Store look, they very clearly are not Apple. I know they have an online presence for Russians, but the majority of sales either come through these reseller stores or through people buying online from abroad and having someone send the device. That being said, the number of old ladies I see on the metro with iPhone 6's makes me somewhat envious. [1] - http://www.re-store.ru http://www.re-store.ru
