They stopped selling products in Russia during March 2022.
That said, there is still a Russian language App Store, and they were letting people in the country get access to platforms and software that would allow messages to be obscured from the state.
Apple stopped operating in Russia over 2 years ago. That said, there is still a Russian language App Store, and they are not bricking anyone who bought a device before the embargo or anyone who brought an Apple device into Russia from another country.
I don’t quite know the nitty gritty details of what can and cannot be access via the Russian language AppStore within Russia, but it looks like Apple left some stuff accessible so dissidents could have access to secure messaging and computing platforms.

You knew what you got into when you bought it. Do you buy a Nintendo switch and expect to play Sony exclusives? Lol.
How is it still allowed to operate in Russia? I thought there were sanctions. Is this company above the law or something?
They’re a megacorp. So yes.
