The U.S. company — whose phones are still sold in Russian stores despite the firm officially leaving the market due to the invasion of Ukraine...

Apple taking a brave stand as ever.

Edit: This was not the smartest comment.

Apple left Russia but their phones are still making it there from China. What stand do you mean?

Is your expectation that Apple will send in troops to raid phone stores inside of Russia?

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe they expect them to stop China from selling them to Russia, bahahaha
