A few iPhone 13 variants have a starting price of more than $3,000.
However, despite Apple’s decision to cease sales in Russia, third-party stores still selling Apple devices have slashed prices in order to combat sanctions and inflation.
The Russian website iPhones.ru has reported this:
In the wake of Apple’s statement that it would be temporarily suspending sales of its products in Russia, non-chain retailers and independent sellers increased their prices.
It is estimated that the cost of purchasing Apple goods in the nation has increased by a stunning amount due to price increases “virtually everywhere.”
As a case in point, the highest-end MacBook Pro model from Apple is currently said to cost over 1 million rubles, or over $10,000. This year’s most costly iPhone 13 Pro Max (1TB) is currently on sale for 308,679 rubles, or little under $2,700. The lowest iPhone 13 model, the mini, now costs over $800.
The most costly M1 iPad Pro (2021) (12.9-inch 2TB) costs over $3,000, while the Apple Watch Series 7 costs up to $1,750.
As a consequence of Russia’s aggressiveness in Ukraine, the value of the ruble fell by 26% and was at one time worth less than 1 U.S. cent earlier this week as a result of the sweeping sanctions.
In addition to this, Apple has ceased sales in the nation. RT News and Sputnik have been removed from the App Store, as well as other state-sponsored networks, as a result of the restrictions placed on Apple Pay. Another safeguard for the protection of Ukrainian nationals is the removal of real traffic and incident data from maps in Ukraine. Source
