Rumors spread among Russian iPhone owners about their disconnection by Apple in the Russian Federation
Russians fear that after the New Year holidays, Apple will turn off its mobile devices in the Russian Federation. Margarita Simonyan, who serves as editor-in-chief of the propaganda channel RT, claims that Russians who own iPhones have started creating backups.
From the message published by the propagandist in Telegram, it follows that after the New Year holidays, iPhone smartphones will turn into pumpkins. Allegedly, this topic is now being actively discussed in ‘Moscow living rooms’. According to Natalia Kasperska from the InfoWatch company, Apple’s example can also be followed by Google. In this case, following the iPhone, Android smartphones belonging to Russian users will turn into pumpkins. Kaspersky emphasized that American vendors may take this step as part of a ‘global cyber war.’
Twitter users took the rumors about the possible disconnection of smartphones in the territory of the Russian Federation with humor. They expressed their belief that if mobile devices are still disabled, it will not be done by Apple and Google, but by Natalya Kaspersky and the company headed by her.
