(Reuters) -Apple Inc said on Tuesday it has paused all product sales in Russia in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

"We are deeply concerned about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and stand with all of the people who are suffering as a result of the violence," Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) said in a statement. "We are supporting humanitarian efforts, providing aid for the unfolding refugee crisis, and doing all we can to support our teams in the region."

The company outlined a number of actions in response to the invasion, including stopping all exports into its sales channels in the country. Apple Pay and other services have been limited, the company said. The Russian state media, RT News and Sputnik News, are no longer available for download from the Apple Store outside Russia.

On Tuesday, users in Russia were still able to access Apple's online store but attempts to buy an iPhone showed that they were not available for delivery.

Apple just lost my loyalty. Yeah the hypocrisy about supporting totalitarian China is amusing. Plus ISIS fighters were free to use iphones in Syria. Haha what a joke this whole circus is. If Ukraine had stayed neutral instead of provoking Russia, life would be normal. But the Russophobes had to have their way. And we all know who the Russophobes are.
"Invade" little bit of an overstatement there. Apparently you don't think Russia has the right to defend its borders. Alrighty then.
I agree China is probably the worst human rights abuser in the world. what have you actually done about it?
thanks putin. im sure apple will miss your tiny amount of money.
How will the oligarchs give their snot-nosed brats the latest apple product? In sure they will find a way but it will at least annoy them. Wasnt expecting it, but what a great decision by apple.
I doubt many Russians would consider buying overpriced apple products in times like these, anyway. I guess Apple realized that as well. Signaling support for Ukraine was probably more valuable than expected goods sold in Russia.
The Russian are in a panic, their portable crematoriums have been breaking down and they've been ordered not to send the dead Russian bodies back to Russia in body bags, for fear that Russian citizens will find out the true fatality rate.
ah chad..the kremlin's handmaiden..... "cancel" Russia ... Russia cancelled itself with the war crimes against the humanity of Ukraine..... this is just the beginning; the Russian brutality and barbarism is being exposed for the world to see. Russia and it's supporters will pay for their deadly criminal behavior against a free Ukraine.
ya about the Russian annihilation of Russian speaking Ukrainians.
omg! russian families might actually start talking to each other in their living rooms
I hope they talk about why they suddenly cannot buy cool stuff anymore.
