It lies in the fact that the iPhone 14 only supports eSIM, and not the standard and familiar SIM card slots. New iPhones will be delivered to Russia via parallel import, and you can activate the eSIM support service from any Russian telecom operator.
At the same time, if the buyer does not want to be left without a SIM card slot, you need to clarify in advance where to bring the iPhone. Apparently, it is important that the smartphone is not from the United States.
“I do not think that most American iPhones will be imported to Russia, because in current conditions they are more expensive – flights to America are problematic. And even if they do, eSIM will be supported there. eSIM can be activated with all Russian operators, there is no problem with this, you just need to get this service in the office or through the application and activate the eSIM on the device.
