“With all eyes focused on what new iPhone handsets Apple may be launching very soon — if reports are to be believed, two new models, and a new color, on September 10 — some of Apple’s top executives this week are making a trip to Russia to meet with key distributors to revisit how it sells devices in the country,” Ingrid Lunden reports for TechCrunch.
“Apple is sending over some of its top people to meet with various retailers in the country,” Lunden reports. “It seems that the details of what the meetings will entail have been very limited, even to the parties themselves.”

Lets hope Tim cook or other gay Apple employees are not going. Shame on you Russia.

Since the official title of the country is “Русской Федерации,” or “The Russian Federation,” it’d have to be something else. iPhone 5Ф, anyone?
Silly me, not noticing that the Soviet Union crumbled long ago
There’s a reason they call it “muther” Russia.
