Yes, and they don't buy it because they can compare the full price of the iPhone vs other flagships and see that they're getting much less for more money (i.e. being screwed over).
Russians also seem pretty anti-Apple, thinking Macs and iPhones are a staple of the rich.
- snitko 13y agoHaha, I'm not sure about that one. It's like everywhere: apple fanboys, anti-apple Android enthusiasts, then people who don't really care.
- guard-of-terra 13y agoPeople buy iPhones. A lot. iPads too. Macs - not so much. It's not that russians are anti-Apple, it's Apple that neglected Russian market for a decade. iPhone got very popular anyway from the first days of American phones jailbreaks (even before apps, before that stuff, a lot of American phones were smuggled), iPod too (it's not so expensive anyway), but that's it. No hi-end gear.

They definitely have a market for full price iPhones, heck, there is a market for multiple companies selling gold-plated jewel-encrusted iPhones.
