Despite Apple’s exit from Russia after the 2022 invasion, StatCounter data shows iOS share actually rose from ~27.5% in Aug 2021 to ~32% in 2025 in Russia.
If Apple left the EU they would lose nothing.
- general1465 1y agoRussian market has been less than 1% of Apple's revenue European market is 25% Apple's revenue (7% is just App Store revenue) Russian market is tiny compared to Europe + they were forced to do it via sanctions or risk being sanctioned themselves, so it is easy for Apple to tell we have to leave this market (even that they really did not, otherwise Russians would not be able to i.e. pay for development licenses). Leaving Europe is entirely Apple's decision without somebody forcing their hand.
- _1tem 1y agoThe 25% number you quoted is for the entire European market including Russia and the Middle East not just the EU. Actual EU market is around 7%. Anyway the point is, Apple lost 0 market share even after they pulled out.
