If you hadn't heard, the value of Russia's ruble is tanking (http://www.bbc.com/news/business-30492518) -- and that's starting to make online store operators nervous. Apple tells Bloomberg that it has frozen internet sales (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-16/apple-stops-online-sales-in-russia-over-ruble-fluctuations.html)in the country while its workers "review pricing." The company hasn't said when the store might come back, but it's a drastic step when Apple and many other tech companies usually deal with currency changes by adjusting prices and calling it a day. Until the official store returns, Russians will have to be content with going through third-party outlets (such as carriers and retail chains) to get their iPhones and Macs.
