From Russia with Love

Drei russische Mobilfunkanbieter setzen ihren iPhone-Verkauf aus – eine große Meldung vor sieben Tagen.

Aber wie so oft, ist das nur die halbe Geschichte.

"The processing on Russia probably needs some color. The articles I have seen suggested that we are not selling iPhone through carrier owned stores. If that’s the one that you are referencing if you look at the Russian market, over 80% of smartphones are sold in retail. They are outside of carrier-owned stores and we sell through a number of national chains there, and in fact, our activations in Russia for iPhones were set of record last quarter, is our highest quarter in Russia ever."
