A record number of iPhones will be imported to Russia: shipments are approaching a historical maximum

According to Izvestia, citing GS Group, 3.3 million iPhones were imported to Russia in the first nine months of 2021. This is 35% more than in the same period last year.

According to forecasts of the GS Group, this year the supply of Apple smartphones in the Russian Federation may reach 4.5 million devices, which will exceed the historical maximum of the brand in our country. Last year, 3.96 million iPhones were imported to Russia, in 2019 – 3.39 million, in 2018 – 4.2 million, in 2017 – 4.3 million, in 2016 – 3.46 million.

The company does not have exact data until 2016. However, I’m sure Apple’s shipments were lower back then, as the smartphone market itself was also smaller.
