Bad news for Iphone owners who will no longer be able to use their smartphone anywhere and in any country.
It’s been a while since January 9, 2007, when Steve Jobs, then CEO of Appleannounced the release of the first generation of iPhonescharacterized by its own iOS operating systemproduced and developed by the same parent company.
Since then, every yearApple has released a new type of smartphone or an update to your operating system. The last, in chronological order, was theIphone 14which comes in the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max models.
Lo Apple smartphones goes to position itself in the high end of the market both in terms of price and particularly high performance. However, if you don’t want to give up the iPhone, it’s good to know that there are also older models on the market, but at decidedly more accessible prices.
Despite the price, theiPhone has taken over the smartphone market as a quality mark and therefore a guarantee of high performance. Much of the credit goes to the iOS operating system, which makes the‘iPhone more stable and less prone to slowdowns. Apple also uses its own store to download Apps which is equipped with higher safety standards than those of its main competitors.
The ban on the use of iPhones
Despite having demonstrated the validity of its products, the apple is still indigestible for the politicians of some countries, who have decided to permanently ban the iPhone. This is not the first time this has happened, already during the first crisis in Ukraine in 2014, Russia responded to theEU embargoarranging the closure of McDonald’s and a halt to the sale of Apple-branded smartphones.
After almost 10 years, thePutin administration still targets the American giant emanating the banning all government employees from using the iPhone. Initially, many thought it was a joke, the first deputy head of the presidential administration, Sergei Kiriyenko, intervened to clarify the matter and confirmed the ban for all Apple-branded devices.
In an international market context, the operation seems very clear, with the Russia pointing to technological sovereignty. Banning the Apple brand frees up a part of the market in which it operates Aurora OS, an operating system developed by the Russian company Open Mobile Platform. Just as instant messaging software produced in Russia has been indicated, to be preferred to the more widespread and used ones. It is therefore not surprising that the numerous rumors spread by the national press justifying these decisions as matters of national security. Some newspapers have even defined Apple devices as tools of expert hackers in the hands of Western secret services.
