While Apple may have stopped the sale of products in Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine, third-party retailers still offering its goods have massively increased prices to battle sanctions and inflation.<\/p>\n

As reported by Russian outlet iPhones.ru<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Some time after Apple’s announcement of the temporary suspension of sales of its equipment in Russia, non-chain stores and individual sellers sharply raised prices.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The outlet notes that prices have soared “almost everywhere”, and that it’s having a staggering impact on the cost of buying Apple products in the country.<\/p>\n

The starkest example is Apple’s most expensive MacBook Pro, which now reportedly costs over 1 million rubles to buy, almost $10,000. The most expensive iPhone 13<\/a> Pro Max (1TB) is now being sold for 308,679 rubles, almost exactly $2,700. The cheapest iPhone 13, the mini, is now more than $800.<\/p>\n

The Apple Watch Series 7<\/a> is now as much as $1,750 for the most expensive model, and the most expensive M1 iPad Pro (2021)<\/a> (12.9-inch 2TB) is more than $3,000.<\/p>\n

Due to sweeping sanctions imposed as a result of Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, the value of the ruble plunged by some 26% and was at one point worth less than 1 U.S. cent earlier this week.<\/p>\n

As noted, Apple has stopped selling its products in the country<\/a>. Furthermore, it has stopped exports into its sales channels, has limited Apple Pay and other services, and has taken state-sponsored networks RT news and Sputnik out of its App Store. It has also disabled traffic and live incidents from maps in Ukraine “as a safety and precautionary measure for Ukrainian citizens.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
