During the nine months of 2024, the amount of government purchases of iPhones increased four times compared to the same period last year – from 1.6 million to 6.8 million rubles.

Despite the ban on the use of Apple smartphones, Russian state-owned companies continue to buy gadgets using budget funds. In nine months, iPhone purchases quadrupled compared to last year, reaching 6.8 million rubles. Russian media writes about it.

The ban on the use of the iPhone for official purposes in the Russian Federation, which was introduced in the summer of 2023, did not stop Russian officials and state-owned companies from continuing to buy Apple smartphones. During the nine months of 2024, the amount of government purchases of iPhones increased four times compared to the same period last year – from 1.6 million to 6.8 million rubles.

Reportedly, most government purchases of the iPhone have been justified by the needs for special programs, in particular, the Voice Over program for users with visual impairments. The largest customer is a company of St. Petersburg Teploenergowho spent more than 3 million rubles on smartphones.

Despite the restrictions, companies also bought Aeroexpress And Kremlin Palace.

In particular, the latter bought smartphones worth 830 thousand rubles. The Russian President’s Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the ban does not apply to everyone and that some administration employees continue to use iPhones.

It was previously reported that YouTube blocked 200 channels in Russia.
