Vedomosti reports that Apple’s Russian ASCs have run out of original components for the iPhone and MacBook.
In May 2024, the warranty period for iPhones and MacBooks imported into Russia before February 2022 will expire. For example, on the iPhone 13. The company was unable to transport components for repairs in December 2023.
At the same time, the ASCs themselves continue to work. So, in Moscow there are six repair services.
However, they are already slightly different from unauthorized ones that produce spare parts with copies of components from China or “donors” from other devices. This, in particular, applies to iPhone 14/15, which were not officially presented in Russia. Some market participants even established supplies of spare parts from CIS countries and transported goods to these countries for service.
It is noted that there is only one ASC left in Moscow that can repair Apple corporate equipment. However, it is unclear whether they did this with the permission of the Cupertino people or not. [Ведомости]
