Russia has banned US tech giant Apple’s iPhone products. Government officials are banned from using iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. Russia is reportedly doing this to prevent US intelligence agencies from monitoring their movements.
The commerce ministry said there will be a ban on using iPhones for “work-related purposes” from Monday. No work-related files should be opened on the iPhone. However, private use is not prohibited.

iPhones have already been banned by the Russian Ministry of Digital Development and Rostec, a state-owned firm under Western sanctions for supplying arms to Russia in Ukraine. Other ministries may also ban the iPhone in the coming days.
Sources close to the government agency that banned Apple products stated that “security officials at the ministries told us that iPhones are no longer considered safe and that alternatives should be sought.”
Last month, Russia’s Federal Security Service accused the United States of spying on Apple devices. However, such a ban on Apple products in various ministries and institutions of the Kremlin indicates a surge in US intelligence agencies’ espionage efforts against Russian state institutions.
