In Russia, the law on mandatory Russian applications for smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and PCs came into force. An entertaining video has appeared on the network demonstrating how the new iPhone is being activated in accordance with the new law.

The video was published by the developer Khaos Tian on his Twitter page, supplemented with a screenshot with a list of all 16 must-have applications for smartphones. Note that, unlike Samsung smartphones, everything here is voluntary – the manufacturer offers to install Russian applications, and the user is free to use the opportunity or refuse.
