They shouldn’t cater to fascist mass murderers. Let the russian ppl be pissed pooty pants took away their apples
Apple pulled out of the country after the invasion of Ukraine, but they left the AppStore up for people with existing hardware. Since they have a walled garden, if they kill the AppStore, they would also be killing access to things that Russian dissenters and refugees would need access to.
For that they can buy an android for 150$. If they expected protection from Apple,that's on them.
Buy a cheap android burner and profit from side loading and alternative app stores. Simple,yes?
So you want apple to stop its AppStore in Russia but android phones and alternative stores should still be operational there?
They can’t keep it straight with the blind “Apple bad” circlejerk
You can side load all day on any iOS device
