Russians will be able to buy the iPhone 14
Russians will have the chance to buy the new Apple iPhone 14, despite the US tech company having left the country, thanks to Moscow’s parallel import scheme, a senior government official told the RIA Novosti news agency on Thursday.
俄罗斯政府一名高级官员周四对俄新社（RIA Novosti）表示，尽管这家美国科技公司已经离开俄罗斯，但由于莫斯科的平行进口机制，俄罗斯人将有机会购买新的iPhone 14。
Russia announced the scheme in March when it authorized retailers to import products from abroad without the trademark owner’s permission.
俄罗斯在3月份宣布了这项机制，它授权零售商可以在没有商标所有者许可的情况下从国外进口产品。

Asked whether the new iPhone, unveiled by Apple (AAPL) on Wednesday, would be imported under the scheme, Trade and Industry Minister Denis Manturov said: “Why not? If consumers want to buy these phones, yes. There will be the opportunity.”

Apple halted new product sales in Russia in March, a week after Russia invaded Ukraine, though the iPhone, MacBook and other Apple goods have remained available in Russian stores as retailers sell down their remaining stock of old models and get hold of newly released devices through the import scheme.
