    As for minor? Well, I'm never sure of the buying power of the rouble, but according to one news source it hit 100 Roubles to the Euro, make of that what you will.

      It's a business anyway. Not surprised Apple made that move. Don't see anything wrong with it, though. Samsung should do the same.

        This is all about being HUMBLE.
        When Apple feels it's about to CRUMBLE.

          Well Apple can always sell in US dollar instead of put halt to stop their products sales. Look like Tim Cook not a good in sales like Steve Jobs?

              Sure Apple, your margin would be to low.

                I hope all greedy western companies like Apple, MS, CocaCola and MCd**k pulls of from Russia and east EU. its better for Russia to have less foreign ripoff companies and work on their own domestic companies and support their own business. And btw im Not Russian. Im from Greece.

                    Their profit margin is so big, a minor fluctuation of currency shouldn't cause them to be in the red...

                      Can't expect less from one the biggest money hoarding companies in the world.
