I specifically said consumer products. But fine:
Russian aircraft industry still remains very capable. It's not unimaginable that they'll be able to keep the planes they stole flying for a while. Sure, there might be crashes like with Iran. But it's not like Russian regime particular cares about the lives of Russian citizens.
Last I checked iPhones were made in China. Sure, Apple might decide not to sell them in Russia but that still leaves perfectly serviceable smartphones from the likes of Xaomi, Huawei and Oppo.
Iran somehow manages to keep pumping oil and gas despite the sanctions.
While there will be obvious loss of productivity, let's stop pretending that the sanctions will somehow grind the Russian economy to a halt or that they will induce regime change.

The funny thing is, they can't even attept to give them back, the airspace of "the rightfull owners" is closed to Russia. And accepting any sort of materials/capital from Russia is frowned upon now.
