iPhone users in Russia can no longer buy Apple apps or subscriptions
Beginning April 1, iPhone users in Russia can no longer buy any new digital content or services with Apple’s billing system. That includes paid apps and in-app purchases, Apple subscriptions such as Apple Music, Apple One, or iCloud+, or adding funds to an Apple account balance.
Current purchases will remain available, as will access to subscription services that have been paid, but subscriptions made through Apple’s billing will not renew. Russian users who have a current balance on the Apple Account can continue to spend it, Apple says, but they will not be able to add more funds.

A decade of hits: Most important Apple products from 2006-2015
Apple turns 50 years old this week, not a bad achievement for a scrappy startup formed in Steve Jobs’ family garage. The company has gone on to change the world many times over, but it was the years between 2006 and 2015 that perhaps left the biggest impact.
The decade from 2006 to 2015 marked one of the most transformative periods in Apple’s history. In just 10 years, Apple evolved from a company known for the Mac and iPod into a global technology powerhouse with a tightly integrated ecosystem of hardware, software, and services designed to
Top 50 people who built and shaped Apple, ranked
April 1 marks Apple’s 50th anniversary, a milestone it couldn’t reach without the help of some very talented people. So we decided to put together a list of the 50 people who made Apple the company it is today. Some worked there for just a year or two; others for almost the entire half-century, while others never actually worked for the company at all. But all influenced Apple’s journey in some profound way.
This is all, of course, deeply subjective. It is very unlikely that every reader will agree with the author’s selections, far less with
Thanks for the wild ride, Apple. Let’s keep it going
Apple has turned 50, and this week I realized that I’ve been writing professionally about the company for two-thirds of its existence. (Excuse me while I try not to turn into dust and blow away in the gentle spring breeze.)
Like so many people, I have a story about discovering and falling in love with the Mac, and how it changed my life. My college newspaper switched to an all-Mac production workflow a year after I arrived on campus with my Apple IIe, and once I started using the Mac I would never go back. Not only did my work at that college paper set me on my career path in general (journalism), but t

I’ve been to a lot of Apple keynotes. I’ll never forget these two
As someone who has been covering Apple for a really long time, I’ve been to a fair share of Apple keynote presentations. Even today, I look forward to the next one (which happens to be on June 8). But there’s something special about attending an Apple keynote in person, in a crowd of Apple customers, developers, and fans who hang on every word.
Apple has had several remarkable

Apple’s comeback decade: Most important products of the 90s and 2000s
Apple turns 50 years old on April 1 – not a bad achievement for a scrappy startup formed in Steve Jobs’ family garage. The company has gone on to change the world many times over, but it was the years 1996 to 2005 that saw some of its greatest inventions come to light.
This decade was perhaps one of the most fruitful periods in Apple’s history. It witnessed the birth of one iconic product after another and the flourishing of the creative partnership between Steve Jobs and Jony Ive. Some of the best devices Apple has ever made appeared during
