According to the newspaper's sources, Kiriyenko said the officials using iPhones would have to switch to new phones by April 1. "It is possible that the Presidential Administration will even purchase new secure phones for its employees to make it easier for them to abandon American technology,"The newspaper also quoted political scientist Nikolai Mironov as saying he believes the Kremlin enacted the iPhone ban"purely for security reasons."
"After all, there is no mass rejection of 'unfriendly' brands, they continue to be used where it does not pose a threat of data leakage. So I don't see politics here, a purely pragmatic solution," Mironov was quoted as saying.
