Apple would be saying it's farewell to Russia... #BANNED!

Apple's famous line of mobile phones and tablets - iPhones and iPads would be banned in Russia starting on New Year's day, this is coming from a report published Tuesday.

Apple's CEO - Tim Cook recently came out as being gay and this would seem like one of the "follow-up disasters" of being one's self, but that's not the case here.

Russia authorities feel datas stored in Apple's iCloud are not stored within Russia [iCloud is based in US where the Cupertino firm hails from] and this gives them sort-of concern.

So, what could the authorities do? They created a new law which prohibits the Sales of Apple devices which houses the iCloud software. Though the law is not specifically targetted at Apple inc for Tim Cook's "gayness", as it applies to all online services including social networks but it's definitely set to rock Apple's quarterly earnings.

Apple could put up a server farm in the country, but that would probably be a bad precedent for the tech titan. Russia could even decide to enforce the ban at the retail level, which also would be bad for Apple.

Those in Russia who currently own an iPhone or iPad that supports iCloud, might have to put up with relentless searches from the authorities.

So the big question now is, WHAT NEXT APPLE?

What will happen to those that have bought 6+ ? Will they destroy it or their money returned?

Nothing, just rigorous searches they'll be subjected to...
